	In Namespaces that previously did not have the "DefaultDeny" annotation, you should delete any existing NetworkPolicy objects. These had no effect in the v1beta1 API, but with v1 semantics they might cause some traffic to be unintentionally blocked.

### Other notable changes

### Kustomize Updates in Kubectl

[Kustomize](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize) version in kubectl had a jump from v2.0.3 to [v4.0.5](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98946). Kustomize is now treated as a library and future updates will be less sporadic.

### Default Container Annotation

- CRI API had auth fields in image pulling marked as `debug_redact`. ([#133135](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133135), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev))
