- kubeadm: JoinConfiguration now houses the discovery options in a nested Discovery structure, which in turn has a couple of other nested structures to house more specific options (BootstrapTokenDiscovery and FileDiscovery) ([#67763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67763), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

- Fixed a performance issue applying json patches to deeply nested objects ([#93812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93812), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the `coredns` image name instead of `coredns/coredns`, thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the `clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository` value including the nested path name (e.g using `registry.company.xyz/coredns` will force kubeadm to use `registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns` image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). ...

com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61446)) and with containerized kubelets ([#61456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61456)). The workaround for this issue is to specify the complete path in the hostPath volume. Use of subPathmounts nested within atomic writer volumes (configmap, secret, downwardAPI, projected) does not work ([#61545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61545)), and socket files cannot be loaded from a subPath ([#62377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kub...

- NOTE ([#113749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113749), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Nested `MountPoints` are now grouped correctly on all cases. ([#112571](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112571), [@claudiubelu](https://github.com/claudiubelu))

- Added support for CEL(Common Expression Language) expressions and `additionalProperties` to be used under nested quantifiers in CRD schemas. ([#124381](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124381), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Added support for building Windows kube-proxy container image.
