- `kubectl exec` now allows using the resource name to select a matching pod and `--pod-running-timeout` flag to wait till at least one pod is running. ([#73664](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73664), [@prksu](https://github.com/prksu))

HorizontalPodAutoscaler added a `spec.behavior` field that allows scale behavior to be configured. Behaviors are specified separately for scaling up and down. In each direction a stabilization window can be specified as well as a list of policies and how to select amongst them. Policies can limit the absolute number of pods added or removed, or the percentage of pods added or removed.

   * -viper-config can be used to select a file with full path, with or without file suffix

### Feature

- 'Added selector validation to `HorizontalPodAutoscaler`: when multiple HPAs
  select the same set of Pods, scaling now will be disabled for those HPAs with
  the reason `AmbiguousSelector`. This change also covers a case when multiple HPAs
  point to the same deployment.'

Election as Alpha under the `CoordinatedLeaderElection` feature gate. With the feature enabled, the control plane can use LeaseCandidate objects (coordination.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API group) to participate in a leader election and let the kube-apiserver select the best instance according to some strategy.
