* The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) version has increased from v1alpha1 to v1alpha2. Runtimes implementing the CRI will need to update to the new version, which configures container namespaces using an enumeration rather than booleans. This change to the alpha API is not backwards compatible; implementations of the CRI such as containerd, will need to update to the new API version.

- Kubeadm: avoid detection of the container runtime for commands that do not need it ([#97849](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97849), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

    * If you have to use the legacy in-tree cloud providers, you can rearrange your config like the example below. In case you need the `cloud-config` file (located in `{cloud-config-path}`), you can mount it into the API Server and controller-manager containers using ExtraVolumes like the example below.
