- 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...

- Fixed a performance issue applying json patches to deeply nested objects ([#93812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93812), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

  - *apiserver_cache_list_evaluated_objects_total*: Counter of objects tested in the course of serving a LIST request from watch cache, broken down by resource_prefix
  - *apiserver_cache_list_returned_objects_total*: Counter of objects returned for a LIST request from watch cache, broken down by resource_prefix

- Fixed a bug to prevent segmentation fault from occurring when updating deeply nested JSON fields. ([#134381](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134381), [@kon-angelo](https://github.com/kon-angelo)) [SIG API Machinery and CLI]

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). ...

In contrast to other identifiers, labels are not block scoped and do
not conflict with identifiers that are not labels. The scope of a label
is the body of the function in which it is declared and excludes
the body of any nested function.
