configuring kubeadm. Before it only existed as a command line flag and was not able to be configured when using the `--config` flag and the manifest files.

* `kubeadm init` can now omit the tainting of the master node if configured to do so in `kubeadm.yaml` using `noTaintMaster: true`. For example, uses can create a...

- Fixed issue with Winkernel Proxier - IPV6 load balancer policies were missing when service was configured with `ipFamilyPolicy`: `RequireDualStack` ([#115503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115503), [@princepereira](https://github.com/princepereira))

- The Service trafficDistribution field has graduated to beta and is now available for configuration by default, without the need to enable any feature flag. Services that do not have the field configured will continue to operate with their existing behavior. Refer to the documentation https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#traffic-distribution for more details.

- Azure: fix a bug that kube-controller-manager would panic if wrong Azure VMSS name is configured ([#94306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94306), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

The dynamic kubelet config feature graduated to beta, so it is enabled by default, simplifying management of the node object itself.  Kubelets that are configured to work with the CRI may take advantage of the log rotation feature, which is graduating to beta this release.

- The feature gate was mentioned as `csiMigrationRBD` where it should have been `CSIMigrationRBD` to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as `CSIMigrationRBD`.
  
  users who have configured this feature gate as `csiMigrationRBD` has to reconfigure the same to `CSIMigrationRBD` from this release. ([#107554](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107554), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec)) [SIG Storage]

the cluster to the recommended values of `1s` initial delay and `60s` maximum delay. To set this for a node, turn on the feature gate `ReduceDefaultCrashLoopBackOffDecay`. If you are also using the feature gate `KubeletCrashLoopBackOffMax` with a configured per-node `CrashLoopBackOff.MaxContainerRestartPeriod`, the effective kubelet configuration will follow the conflict resolution policy described further in the documentation [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle...

* Webhook client credentials configured with `--admission-control-config-file` must include non-default ports in the configured hostnames. For example, a webhook configured to speak to port 8443 on service `mysvc` in namespace `myns` would specify client credentials in a stanza with `name: mysvc.myns.svc:8443`. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/referen...

A Service `ClusterIP` can be assigned:

* dynamically, which means the cluster will automatically pick a free IP within the configured Service IP range.
* statically, which means the user will set one IP within the configured Service IP range.

Service `ClusterIP` are unique, hence, trying to create a Service with a `ClusterIP` that has already been allocated will return an error.
