* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously leaked flag, --cloud-provider-gce-lb-src-cidrs, has been entirely removed from the Kubelet's command-line...

### kubeadm
* Quite a few flags been renamed or removed.  Those options that are removed as flags can still be accessed via the config file.  Most notably this includes external etcd settings and the option for setting the cloud provider on the API server.  The [kubeadm reference documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/) is up to date with the new flags.

- Kubeadm: only enable the klog flags that are still supported for kubeadm, rather than hiding the unwanted flags. This means that the previously unrecommended hidden flags about klog (including `--alsologtostderr`, `--log-backtrace-at`, `--log-dir`, `--logtostderr`, `--log-file`, `--log-file-max-size`, `--one-output`, `--skip-log-headers`, `--stderrthreshold`...

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kubelet`:

  - The deprecated `--etcd-quorum-read` flag has been removed. Quorum reads are now always enabled when fetching data from etcd. Remove the `--etcd-quorum-read` flag from kube-apiserver invocations before upgrading.
- kube-controller-manager
  - The deprecated `--insecure-experimental-approve-all-kubelet-csrs-for-group` flag has been removed.
