* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously leaked flag, --cloud-provider-gce-lb-src-cidrs, has been entirely removed from the Kubelet's command-line...

### kubeadm
* Quite a few flags been renamed or removed.  Those options that are removed as flags can still be accessed via the config file.  Most notably this includes external etcd settings and the option for setting the cloud provider on the API server.  The [kubeadm reference documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/) is up to date with the new flags.

### Other Deprecations

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kubelet`:

the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that might change in the future. On a command line, the last *patches flag takes precedence over previous flags and the value in config. `kubeadm upgrade --patches` will continue to be the only available option, since `upgrade` does not support a configuration file yet. ([#103063](http...

    These 2 flags can be used only for dual-stack clusters. For non dual-stack clusters, continue to use  `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag to configure the mask size.

    The default node cidr mask size for IPv6 was 24 which is now changed to 64. ([#79993](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79993), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

  - The deprecated `--etcd-quorum-read` flag has been removed. Quorum reads are now always enabled when fetching data from etcd. Remove the `--etcd-quorum-read` flag from kube-apiserver invocations before upgrading.
- kube-controller-manager
  - The deprecated `--insecure-experimental-approve-all-kubelet-csrs-for-group` flag has been removed.
- kubelet

*   The kube-scheduler command now supports a `--config` flag, which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated.
