- 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 prevented unexpected behavior.

* fixes a regression in kube-scheduler to properly load client connection information from a `--config` file that references a kubeconfig file ([#65507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65507), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

all` or just `kubeadm init` will now generate the new `super-admin.conf` file. The cluster admin can then decide to keep the file present on a node host or move it to a safe location. `kubadm certs renew` will renew the certificate in `super-admin.conf` to one year if the file exists; if it does not exist a "MISSING" note will be printed. `kubeadm upgrade apply` for this release will migrate this particular node to the two file setup. Subsequent kubeadm releases will continue to optionally renew the...

  - `--service-account-key-file`, set to one or more files containing one or more public keys used to verify tokens.

- Kubeadm: during execution of the `certs check-expiration` command, treat the etcd CA as external if there is a missing etcd CA key file (etcd/ca.key) and perform the proper validation on certificates signed by the etcd CA....
