* The audit log file defaults to JSON encoding when using the advanced auditing feature gate.
  * An audit policy file without either an `apiVersion` or a `kind` field may be treated as invalid.
  * The webhook and log file now output the `v1beta1` event format.

    For more details, see [Advanced audit](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/audit/#advanced-audit).

- Fixed attaching volumes after detach errors. Now volumes that failed to detach are not treated as attached. Kubernetes will make sure they are fully attached before they can be used by pods.

- Slow container runtime initialization no longer causes the System WatchDog to kill the kubelet. The Device Manager was treated as unhealthy until it began listening on its port. ([#135153](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135153), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev))

        structures of `tensors` as inputs (instead of just a list of tensors).
        Note that Python structures such as tuples and lists now won't be
        treated as tensors, so if you still want them to be treated that way,
        you need to wrap them with `tf.convert_to_tensor`.
    *   No lowering on gradient case op when input is `DeviceIndex` op.

- The terminationGracePeriodSeconds...

* Mirror pods must now indicate the nodeName they are bound to on creation. The mirror pod annotation is now treated as immutable and cannot be added to an existing pod, removed from a pod, or modified.

### 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

- Kube-apiserver: resolved a regression that treated `304 Not Modified` responses from aggregated API servers as internal errors ([#112529](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112529), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]
