### Windows

Support for Windows nodes and Windows containers went going stable.

Support for Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSA) for Windows containers in Kubernetes. GMSA are a specific type of Active Directory account that provides automatic password management, simplified service principal name (SPN) management, and the ability to delegate the management to other administrators across multiple servers.

- Node information is now embedded into Pod-bound service account tokens as additional metadata. The 'JTI' field is set in issued service account tokens, and this information is embedded as `authentication.kubernetes.io/credential-id` in the user's ExtraInfo.

- Get-kube.sh uses the gcloud's current local GCP service account for auth when the provider is GCE or GKE instead of the metadata server default ([#88383](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88383), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

                    .builder(Collections.singleton("https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"), user.getAuthenticationResult().account())
                    .build();

            final IAuthenticationResult result = app.acquireTokenSilently(parameters).get(acquisitionTimeout, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

- E2e tests wait for kube-root-ca.crt to be populated in namespaces for use with projected service account tokens, reducing delays starting those test pods and errors in the logs.

- `kube-controller-manager`: The `LegacyServiceAccountTokenCleanUp` feature gate
  is now available as alpha (off by default). When enabled, the `legacy-service-account-token-cleaner`
  controller loop removes service account token secrets that have not been used
  in the time specified by `--legacy-service-account-token-clean-up-period` (defaulting
  to one year), **and are** referenced from the `.secrets` list of a ServiceAccount

use speaking to it,' she thought, `till its ears have come, or at
least one of them.'  In another minute the whole head appeared,
and then Alice put down her flamingo, and began an account of the
game, feeling very glad she had someone to listen to her.  The
Cat seemed to think that there was enough of it now in sight, and
no more of it appeared.

- CSI drivers can now opt in to receive service account tokens via the secrets field instead of volume context by setting `spec.serviceAccountTokenInSecrets: true` in the CSIDriver object. This prevents tokens from being exposed in logs and other outputs. The feature is gated by the `CSIServiceAccountTokenSecrets`...
