- kube-apiserver: `--service-account-max-token-expiration` can now be used in combination with an external token signer `--service-account-signing-endpoint`, as long as the `--service-account-max-token-expiration` is not longer than the external token signer's max expiration.

- Added support to the kube-apiserver for an alpha feature enabling external signing of service account tokens and fetching of public verifying keys, by enabling the Alpha `ExternalServiceAccountTokenSigner` feature gate and specifying `--service-account-signing-endpoint`. The flag value can either be the location of a Unix domain socket on a filesystem, or be prefixed with an @ symbol and name a Unix domain socket in the...
