Related, PR 137633 adds condition support to the webhook authorizer, the third step in the conditional authorization work. And streaming continues to…
Second, controller and networking reliability. PR 142650, merged as commit 9582547, fixes deployment rolling updates to surface old replica set scale-down errors so the work queue retries instead of reporting success. Cherry picks of PR 142234 ensure kubelet reconciles node status for externally registered nodes…
