- Added "netadmin" debugging profiles for kubectl debug. ([#115712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115712), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly)) [SIG CLI]
- Added `--output plaintext-openapiv2` argument to kubectl explain to use old openapiv2 `explain` implementation. ([#115480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115480), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Added a short output format argument for `kubectl explain`. You could now use `-o` as an abbreviation for `--output` in commands such as `kubectl explain <resource> --output plaintext-openapiv2`. ([#127869](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127869), [@ak20102763](https://github.com/ak20102763))

- Added validation for the `--container-runtime-endpoint` flag of kubelet to be non-empty. ([#112542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112542), [@astraw99](https://github.com/astraw99))
- Adds alpha --output plaintext protected by environment variable `KUBECTL_EXPLAIN_OPENAPIV3` ([#113146](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113146), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski)) [SIG CLI]

`Not-ready` state when credentials for vCenter stored in a secret and Zones feature is in use. Zone labels setup moved to KCM component, kubelet skips this step during startup in such case. If credentials stored in cloud-provider config file as plaintext current behaviour does not change and no action required. For proper functioning `kube-system:vsphere-legacy-cloud-provider` should be allowed to update node object if vCenter credentials stored in secret and Zone feature used. ([#101028](https:...
