* kube-apiserver: The `AdmissionConfiguration` type accepted by `--admission-control-config-file` has been promoted to `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1` with no schema changes. ([#85098](https...

- kubelet: the `--image-credential-provider-config` file was loaded with strict deserialization, which failed if the config file contained duplicate or unknown fields. This protected against accidentally running with malformed config files, unindented files, or typos in field names, and it...

   * -viper-config can be used to set also the options defined by command line flags
   * the default config file is "e2e.yaml/toml/json/..." and the test starts when no such config is found (as before) but if -viper-config is used, the config file must exist
   * -viper-config can be used to select a file with full path, with or without file suffix

- '`kube-apiserver`: adds `--authentication-config` flag for reading `AuthenticationConfiguration`
  files. `--authentication-config` flag is mutually exclusive with the existing `--oidc-*`
  flags.' ([#119142](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119142), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- '`kube-scheduler` component config (`KubeSchedulerConfiguration`) `kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1beta3`

- Kubeadm:  'kubeadm alpha kubelet config download' has been removed, please use 'kubeadm upgrade node phase kubelet-config' instead ([#87944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87944), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

*   The API group/version for the kube-proxy configuration has changed from `componentconfig/v1alpha1` to `kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`. If you are using a config file for kube-proxy instead of the command line flags, you must change its apiVersion to `kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`.

- Kube-apiserver: the `--encryption-provider-config` file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior. When `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` is used, new encryption config files that contain typos after the kube-apiserver is running are treated...

- The legacy scheduler policy config is removed in v1.23, the associated flags `policy-config-file`, `policy-configmap`, `policy-configmap-namespace` and `use-legacy-policy-config` are also removed. Migrate to Component Config instead, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/scheduling/config/ for details.
