- The `horizontalpodautoscaling` and `clusterrole-aggregation` controllers now assume the `autoscaling/v1` and `rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1` APIs are available. If you disable those APIs and do not want to run those controllers, exclude them by passing `--controllers=-horizontalpodautoscaling` or `--controllers=-clusterrole-aggregation` to `kube-controller-manager`.

* Webhooks now do not skip cluster-scoped resources. Before upgrading your Kubernetes clusters, double check whether you have configured webhooks for cluster-scoped objects (e.g., nodes, persistentVolume), as these webhooks will start to take effect. Delete/modify the configs if that's not...

  * `kubectl get podsecuritypolicies -o yaml > psp.yaml`
2. Review and delete any PodSecurityPolicy objects you do not want all pod-creating users to be able to use (NOTE: Privileged users that were making use of those policies will also lose access to those policies). For example:
  * `kubectl delete podsecuritypolicies/my-privileged-policy`
3. After upgrading to 1.5.5, re-create the exported PodSecurityPolicy objects:
  * `kubectl create -f psp.yaml`

- The pod phase lifecycle guarantees that terminal Pods, those whose states are `Unready` or `Succeeded`, can not regress and will have all container stopped. Hence, terminal Pods will never be reachable and should not publish their IP addresses on the `Endpoints` or `EndpointSlices`, independently of the Service...

- Cloud controller manager's node controller now emits timing metrics for initial `Node` synchronization. These metrics measure the delay between the creation of a new `Node` and the node controller's initial management actions, such as removing the cloud provider taint. These metrics should be consulted when setting cloud controller manager's `--concurrent-node-syncs` flag. ([#119241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119241),...

- The GA TokenRequest and TokenRequestProjection feature gates have been removed and are unconditionally enabled. Remove explicit use of those feature gates in CLI invocations. ([#97148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97148), [@wawa0210](https://github.com/wawa0210)) [SIG Node]

consistently deployed across those clusters, and dynamically managed
to ensure that autoscaling can occur optimially in all clusters,
within a set of global constraints on the total number of replicas
permitted across all clusters.  If replicas are not
required in some clusters due to low system load or insufficient quota
or capacity in those clusters, additional replicas are made available

- Fixes a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of imagePullSecrets and hostAliases fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as either defaulted or required. ([#124694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124694),...
