### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kube-apiserver: sets an upper-bound on the lifetime of idle keep-alive connections and time to read the headers of incoming requests ([#103958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103958), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

* On cluster provision or upgrade, kubeadm now generates certs and secures all connections to the etcd static-pod with mTLS. This includes the etcd serving cert, the etcd peer cert, and the apiserver etcd client cert. Flags and hostMounts are added to the etcd and apiserver static-pods to load these certs. For connections to etcd, https is now used in favor of http. ([#57415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57415), [@stealthybox](htt...

* kube-proxy in IPVS mode will stop initiating connections to terminating pods for services with sessionAffinity set. ([#71834](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71834), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))

  be prematurely closed when deleting a pod with an iSCSI persistent volume attached and that prevented the use of newly created LUNs on targets with preestablished connections. ([#41196](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41196)), [@CristianPop](https://github.com/CristianPop))

* Bump GCE debian image to container-v1-3-v20160604 ([#26851](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26851), [@zmerlynn](https://github.com/zmerlynn))
* Option to enable http2 on client connections. ([#25280](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/25280), [@timothysc](https://github.com/timothysc))

- Fixes a regression introduced in 1.29 where conntrack entries for UDP connections
  to deleted pods did not get cleaned up correctly, which could (among other things)

- Fixes regression in logging spurious stack traces when proxied connections are closed by the backend ([#82588](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82588), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

feature gate to `true` (it is disabled by default). An API server fronted by an L7 load balancer that already mitigates these http/2 attacks may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to avoid disrupting load balancer → kube-apiserver connections if http/2 requests from multiple clients share the same backend connection. An API server on a private network may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to prevent performance regressions for unauthenticated clients. Authenticated requests...
