- kubeadm: JoinConfiguration now houses the discovery options in a nested Discovery structure, which in turn has a couple of other nested structures to house more specific options (BootstrapTokenDiscovery and FileDiscovery) ([#67763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67763), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61446)) and with containerized kubelets ([#61456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61456)). The workaround for this issue is to specify the complete path in the hostPath volume. Use of subPathmounts nested within atomic writer volumes (configmap, secret, downwardAPI, projected) does not work ([#61545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61545)), and socket files cannot be loaded from a subPath ([#62377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kub...

image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the `coredns` image name instead of `coredns/coredns`, thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the `clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository` value including the nested path name (e.g using `registry.company.xyz/coredns` will force kubeadm to use `registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns` image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). ...
