- The synthetic "Bookmark" event for the watch stream requests will now include a new annotation: `kubernetes.io/initial-events-list-blueprint`. THe annotation contains an empty, versioned list that is encoded in the requested format (such as protobuf, JSON, or CBOR), then base64-encoded and stored as a string.

  - The issuer of the certificate is unknown (x509.UnknownAuthorityError)

### Deploy a more secure control plane with kubeadm

A new alpha feature allows running the kubeadm control plane components as non-root users. This is a long requested security measure in kubeadm. To try it you must enable the kubeadm-specific `RootlessControlPlane` feature gate. When you deploy a cluster using this alpha feature, your control plane runs with lower privileges.

- Only extend token lifetimes when `--service-account-extend-token-expiration` is true and the requested token audiences are empty or exactly match all values for `--api-audiences`.

* adding predicates ordering for the kubernetes scheduler. ([#57168](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57168), [@yastij](https://github.com/yastij))
* Free up CPU and memory requested but unused by Metrics Server Pod Nanny. ([#57252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57252), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))

* Allow remote admission controllers to be dynamically added and removed by administrators.  External admission controllers make an HTTP POST containing details of the requested action which the service can approve or reject.
