### External credential provider for client-go

The client-go credential plugins can now be passed in the current cluster information via the `KUBERNETES_EXEC_INFO` environment variable. Learn more about this on [client-go credential plugins documentation](https://docs.k8s.io/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#client-go-credential-plugins/).

- Promoted pod resource `limit/request` metrics to stable. ([#115454](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115454), [@dgrisonnet](https://github.com/dgrisonnet))
- Removed AWS kubelet credential provider. Please use the external kubelet credential provider binary named `ecr-credential-provider` instead. ([#116329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116329), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Node, Storage and Testing]

- Kubelet: The `--azure-container-registry-config` flag has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release, please use `--image-credential-provider-config` and `--image-credential-provider-bin-dir` to setup acr credential provider instead.

[cluster role aggregation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#aggregated-clusterroles), introduced in 1.9, graduated to stable status with no changes in 1.11, and [client-go credential plugins](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#client-go-credential-plugins)  graduated to beta status, while also adding support for obtaining TLS credentials from an external plugin.

Kubernetes 1.11 also makes it easier to see what's happening, as...
