- Component-base/logs: when compiled with Go >= 1.21, component-base will automatically configure the slog default logger together with initializing klog. ([#120696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120696), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture,...

* kubectl built for darwin from darwin now enables cgo to use the system-native C libraries for DNS resolution. Cross-compiled kubectl (e.g. from an official kubernetes release) still uses the go-native netgo DNS implementation.

* Implementers of the cloud provider interface will note the addition of a context to this interface. Trivial code modification will be necessary for a cloud provider to continue to compile. ([#59287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59287), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako))
