* requests for a TLS client certificate for any node are approved if the CSR creator has `create` permission on the `certificatesigningrequests` resource and `nodeclient` subresource in the `certificates.k8s.io` API group

- Remove the deprecated flags `--csr-only` and `--csr-dir` from `kubeadm certs renew`. Please use `kubeadm certs generate-csr` instead. ([#104796](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104796), [@RA489](https://github.com/RA489))

        * requests for a TLS client certificate for any node are approved if the CSR creator has `create` permission on the `certificatesigningrequests` resource and `nodeclient` subresource in the `certificates.k8s.io` API group

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated `--csr-only` and `--csr-dir` flags from `kubeadm init phase certs`. Deprecate the same flags under `kubeadm certs renew`. In both the cases the command `kubeadm certs generate-csr` should be used instead. ([#102108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102108), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

## Action Required

### Certificates API
* Users of the alpha certificates API should delete v1alpha1 CSRs from the API before upgrading and recreate them as v1beta1 CSR after upgrading. ([#39772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39772), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

### Cluster Autoscaler

- Kubeadm: deprecate the "--csr-only" and "--csr-dir" flags of the "kubeadm init phase certs" subcommands. Please use "kubeadm alpha certs generate-csr" instead. This new command allows you to generate new private keys and certificate signing requests for all the control-plane components, so that the certificates can be signed by an external...

- kubeadm: Fixed the machine readability of `kubeadm token create --print-join-command` ([#75487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75487), [@displague](https://github.com/displague))

- Ensured that the Node Admission plugin to reject CSR requests created by a node identity for the signers `kubernetes.io/kubelet-serving` or `kubernetes.io/kube-apiserver-client-kubelet` with a CN starting with `system:node:`, but where the CN is not `system:node:${node-name}`.
