- ACTION REQUIRED for custom scheduler plugin developers:

* PodSecurityPolicy admission information has been added to audit logs. ([#58143](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58143), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
* TokenRequests now are required to have an expiration duration between 10 minutes and 2^32 seconds. ([#63999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63999), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

- Kubelets configured to rotate client certificates now publish a `certificate_manager_server_ttl_seconds` gauge metric indicating the remaining seconds until certificate expiration. ([#91148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91148), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Auth and Node]

  * Renamed Kubelet metric certificate_manager_server_expiration_seconds to certificate_manager_server_ttl_seconds and changed to report the second until expiration at read time rather than absolute time of expiry. 
  * Improved accuracy of Kubelet metric rest_client_exec_plugin_ttl_seconds.

- The commands `kubeadm certs renew` and `kubeadm certs check-expiration` now honor the `cert-dir` flag on a running Kubernetes cluster. ([#110709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110709), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave))

- Kubeadm: fix panic in the command "kubeadm certs check-expiration" when "/etc/kubernetes/pki" exists but cannot be read. ([#124124](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124124), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

    * kubeadm: use the default kubeconfig (/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf) for "kubeadm reset" and "kubeadm upgrade" commands.
* Increase api server client certificate expiration histogram resolution to accommodate short-lived (< 6h) client certificates. ([#74806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74806), [@mxinden](https://github.com/mxinden))
