- Kubeadm: the `bridge-nf-call-iptables=1` and `bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=1` preflight checks are removed since not all the network implementations require this setting, network plugins are responsible for setting this correctly depending on whether or not they connect containers to Linux bridges or use some other mechanism.

    You can disable CRI explicitly (`--enable-cri=false`) as a

      * The standard `bridge` plugin have been validated to interoperate with
         the new CRI + CNI code path.
      * If you are using plugins other than `bridge`, make sure you have
        updated custom plugins to the latest version that is compatible.
* **CNI plugins now affect node readiness**

- Adds support for `InterfaceNamePrefix` and `BridgeInterface` as arguments to `--detect-local-mode` option and also introduces a new optional `--pod-interface-name-prefix` and `--pod-bridge-interface` flags to kube-proxy.

    *   Relies on CNI 0.6.0 binaries for IPv6 pod networking.
    *   Adds IPv6 support for kube-dns using SRV records.
    *   Caveats
        *   Only the CNI bridge and local-ipam plugins have been tested for the alpha release, although other CNI plugins do support IPv6.
        *   HostPorts are not supported.
