- `kubeadm`: Started using a named port `probe-port` for all probes in the static pod manifests generated by `kubeadm` for the `kube-apiserver`, `kube-controller-manager`, `kube-scheduler`, and related components. If probe port values were previously patched using `kubeadm` patches, the corresponding named port under the container’s `ports` field must now also be patched. ([#1327...

    * Bump metadata agent version to 0.2-0.0.21-1.
    * Expand the metadata agent's access to all API groups.
    * Remove metadata agent config maps in favor of command line flags.
    * Update the metadata agent's liveness probe to a new /healthz handler.
    * Logging Agent Improvements
    * Bump logging agent version to 0.2-1.5.33-1-k8s-1.
    * Appropriately set log severity for k8s_container.

- Single static pod files and pod files from http endpoints cannot be larger than 10 MB. HTTP probe payloads are now truncated to 10KB. ([#82669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82669), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips))

  - Health check (liveness & readiness) probes using an HTTPGetAction will no longer follow redirects to different hostnames from the original probe request. Instead, these non-local redirects will be treated as a Success (the documented behavior). In this case an event with reason "ProbeWarning" will be generated, indicating that the redirect was ignored. If you were previously relying on the...

- Limit the body length of exec readiness/liveness probes. remote CRIs and Docker shim read a max of 16MB output of which the exec probe itself inspects 10kb. ([#82514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82514), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

* Flush conntrack state for removed/changed UDP Services ([#22573](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/22573), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))
* Allow setting the Host header in a httpGet probe ([#24292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24292), [@errm](https://github.com/errm))
