Anthos clusters on bare metal 1.16.2 is now available for download

## Feature ### Release 1.16.2 Anthos clusters on bare metal 1.16.2 is now available for [download](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/bare-metal/1.16/downloads). To upgrade, see [Upgrading Anthos on bare metal](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/bare-metal/1.16/how-to/upgrade). Anthos clusters on bare metal 1.16.2 runs on Kubernetes 1.27. ## Change **Functionality changes:** * Increased the certificate time to live (TTL) for `metrics-providers-ca` and `stackdriver-prometheus-scrape` for third-party monitoring. * Removed hardcoded timeout value for the `bmctl backup` operation. ## Fix **Fixes:** * Fixed the `spec.featureGates.annotationBasedApplicationMetrics` feature gate in the stackdriver custom resource to enable collection of annotation-based workload metrics. This function is broken in Anthos clusters on bare metal versions 1.16.0 and 1.16.1. * Fixed a memory leak in Dataplane V2. * Fixed an issue where garbage collection deleted Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) entries for long-lived egress NAT connections, causing connection resets. * Fixed an issue that caused file and directory permissions to be set incorrectly after backing up and restoring a cluster. * Added direct dependencies on systemd, containerd, and kubelet over their mount point folders in `/var/lib/`. * Fixed an issue where etcd blocked upgrades due to an incorrect initial-cluster-state. * Fixed an issue that blocked upgrades to version 1.16 for clusters that have secure computing mode (`seccomp`) disabled. ## Fix The following container image security vulnerabilities have been fixed in release 1.16.2: * High-severity container vulnerabilities: * [CVE-2019-11253](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-11253) *
