- `apiserver_dropped_requests` is dropped from this release since `apiserver_request_total` can now be used to track dropped requests. `etcd_object_counts` is also removed in favor of `apiserver_storage_objects`. `apiserver_registered_watchers` is also removed in favor of `apiserver_longrunning_requests`.

* Prevent AWS Network Load Balancer security groups ingress rules to be deleted by ensuring target groups are tagged. ([#73594](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73594), [@masterzen](https://github.com/masterzen))

- Supported fine-grained supplemental groups policy (KEP-3619), which enabled
  fine-grained control for supplementary groups in the first container processes.
  This allows you to choose whether to include groups defined in the container image (/etc/groups)

- Updated pause image to version 3.5, which now runs per default as pseudo user and group `65535:65535`. This does not have any effect on remote container runtimes like CRI-O and containerd, which setup the pod sandbox user and group on their own.

## Changes to API Resources
### ABAC
* ABAC policies using `"user":"*"` or `"group":"*"` to match all users or groups will only match authenticated requests. To match unauthenticated requests, ABAC policies must explicitly specify `"group":"system:unauthenticated"` ([#38968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38968), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Admission Control

`kubeadm`: a separate "super-admin.conf" file is now deployed. The User in `admin.conf` is now bound to a new RBAC Group `kubeadm:cluster-admins` that has `cluster-admin` `ClusterRole` access. The User in `super-admin.conf` is now bound to the `system:masters` built-in super-powers / break-glass Group that can bypass RBAC. Before this change, the default `admin.conf` was bound to `system:masters` Group, which was undesired. Executing `kubeadm init phase kubeconfig all` or just `kubeadm init` will now generate...

- Fixed AWS Cloud Provider attempting to delete LoadBalancer security group it didn’t provision, and fixed AWS Cloud Provider creating a default LoadBalancer security group even if annotation `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-security-groups` is present because the intended behavior of aws-load-balancer-security-groups is to replace all security groups assigned to the load balancer.
