(Alpha), allowing you to specify application-level metrics and thresholds to
trigger scaling up and down the number of pods in your application.
  * <strong>New GUI</strong> (dashboard) allows you to get started quickly and enables the same
functionality found in the CLI as a more approachable and discoverable way of
interacting with the system. Note: the GUI is enabled by default in 1.2 clusters.

The FSGroup's CSIDriver Policy is now beta in 1.20. This allows CSIDrivers to explicitly indicate if they want Kubernetes to manage permissions and ownership for their volumes via `fsgroup`.

- `kubelet` allows pods to use the `net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout`, “net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl”
  and “net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes“ sysctl by default; Pod Security Admission
  allows this sysctl in `v1.29+` versions of the baseline and restricted policies. ([#121240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121240), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))

## Type Hints with Metadata Annotations { #type-hints-with-metadata-annotations }

Python also has a feature that allows putting **additional <abbr title="Data about the data, in this case, information about the type, e.g. a description.">metadata</abbr>** in these type hints using `Annotated`.

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))
