- Added support for projected volume in describe function  ([#70158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70158), [@WanLinghao](https://github.com/WanLinghao))
- kubeadm now automatically creates a new stacked etcd member when joining a new control plane node (does not applies to external etcd) ([#69486](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69486), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))

- Supported `BackoffLimitPerIndex` in Jobs. ([#118009](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118009), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
- The `IPTablesOwnershipCleanup` feature (KEP-3178) is now GA; kubelet no longer
  creates the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain (which has been unused for several releases)

- **Federation**
  - [alpha] Creating a `Federated Ingress` is as simple as submitting
    an `Ingress` creation request to the Federation API Server. The
    Federation control system then creates and maintains a single
    global virtual IP to load balance incoming HTTP(S) traffic across
    some or all the registered clusters, across all regions. Google's
    GCE L7 LoadBalancer is the first supported implementation, and

* Fix issue in reconstruct volume data when kubelet restarts ([#36616](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36616), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))
* Ensure proper serialization of updates and creates in federation test watcher ([#36613](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36613), [@mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))

* skip nodes that have a primary NIC in a 'Failed' provisioningState ([#65412](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65412), [@yastij](https://github.com/yastij))
* On COS, NPD creates a node condition for frequent occurrences of unregister_netdevice ([#65342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65342), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- kubeadm: Remove usage of `PersistentVolumeLabel` ([#65827](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65827), [@xlgao-zju](https://github.com/xlgao-zju))
- kubeadm: Add a `v1alpha3` API. This change creates a v1alpha3 API that is initially a duplicate of v1alpha2. ([#65629](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65629), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

* Fixes an issue where Portworx PVCs remain in pending state when created using a StorageClass with empty parameters ([#64895](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64895), [@harsh-px](https://github.com/harsh-px))
