Prior to 1.17 and for existing nodes created by `kubeadm init` where kubelet client certificate rotation is desired, you must modify `/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf` to point to the PEM symlink for rotation:

- Added two client certificate metrics for exec auth:
    - `rest_client_certificate_expiration_seconds` a gauge reporting the lifetime of the current client certificate. Reports the time of expiry in seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.

        * requests from a node for a TLS serving certificate for itself are approved if the CSR creator has `create` permission on the `certificatesigningrequests` resource and the `selfnodeserver` subresource in the `certificates.k8s.io` API group

Kubeadm: Automate certificate copy between control planes in HA setups

- Joining control plane nodes to a HA cluster can now be simplified by enabling the optional automatic copy of certificates from an existing control plane node.
- You can now use `kubeadm init --experimental-upload-certs` and `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane --certificate-key`.

        * requests from a node for a TLS serving certificate for itself are approved if the CSR creator has `create` permission on the `certificatesigningrequests` resource and the `selfnodeserver` subresource in the `certificates.k8s.io` API group

- Fixed an issue where the `vsphere` cloud provider would not trust a certificate if:
  - The issuer of the certificate was unknown (`x509.UnknownAuthorityError`)
  - The requested name did not match the set of authorized names (`x509.HostnameError`)

### Cluster Lifecycle

  - Some kubeadm commands are now allowed to work in a completely offline mode.
- Certificate handling improvements:
  - Renew certs as part of upgrade.
  - New `kubeadm alpha phase certs renew` command for renewing certificates.
  - Certificates created with kubeadm now have improved uniqueness of Distinguished Name fields.
- HA improvements:

* Allows extension API server to dynamically discover the requestheader CA certificate when the core API server doesn't use certificate based authentication for it's clients ([#66394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66394), [@rtripat](https://github.com/rtripat))

previously created the first bootstrap client credentials in the certificates directory as `kubelet-client.key` and `kubelet-client.crt`.  Subsequent certificates created by cert rotation were created in a combined PEM file that was atomically rotated as `kubelet-client-DATE.pem` in that directory, which meant clients relying on the `node.kubeconfig` generated by bootstrapping would never use a rotated cert.  The initial bootstrap certificate is now generated into the cert directory as a PEM file and symlinked...
