#### Cluster Selection
* [alpha] Federation [ClusterSelector annotation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-federation/cluster/#clusterselector-annotation) to direct objects to federated clusters with matching labels.


### **Instrumentation**
#### Core Metrics API

* kubectl cp now safely allows unpacking of symlinks that may point outside the destination directory ([#82384](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82384), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
* fix azure disk naming matching issue due to case sensitive comparison ([#81720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81720), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

* Advanced audit now correctly reports impersonated user info. ([#48184](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48184), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))

    *   Added `namespaceSelector` to `externalAdmissionWebhook` configuration to allow applying webhooks only to objects in the namespaces that have matching labels. ([#54727](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54727),[ @caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- Namespace API objects now have a `kubernetes.io/metadata.name` label matching their metadata.name field to allow selecting any namespace by its name using a label selector. ([#96968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96968), [@jayunit100](https://github.com/jayunit100)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider,...

* When prompting for passwords, don't echo to the terminal ([#31586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31586), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))
* add group prefix matching for kubectl usage ([#32140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32140), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

- Fixed `kubectl wait --for=create` behavior with label selectors, to properly wait for resources with matching labels to appear. ([#128662](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128662), [@omerap12](https://github.com/omerap12)) [SIG CLI and Testing]

- Extended resources backed by DRA feature allowed cluster operator to specify `extendedResourceName` in `DeviceClass`, and application operator to continue using extended resources in pod's requests to request for DRA devices matching the DeviceClass.
  

- Fixed recursive LIST from watch cache returning object matching key. ([#125584](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125584), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- First pod with required affinity terms can schedule only on nodes with matching topology keys. ([#91168](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91168), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g)) [SIG Scheduling]
