kubeadm has been updated to drop an unnecessary redirection from ci/latest.txt to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10 as the CI build jobs what build images correctly updates those.

* - kubeadm now supports "ci/latest-1.8" or "ci-cross/latest-1.8" and similar labels. ([#49119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49119), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

- The deprecated mondo `kubernetes-test` tarball is no longer built. Users running Kubernetes e2e tests should use the `kubernetes-test-portable` and `kubernetes-test-{OS}-{ARCH}` tarballs instead. ([#83093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83093), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))
