and it can be enabled by setting the option `--feature-gates=AllowUnsafeMalformedObjectDeletion=true`.

* kubeadm now has a join timeout that can be controlled via the `discoveryTimeout` config option. This option is set to 5 minutes by default. ([#60983](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60983), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

- Kubectl/drain: add disable-eviction option.Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution.

- Added new option to the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin to ignore existing pods` preferred inter-pod affinities if the incoming pod has no preferred inter-pod affinities. This option can be used as an optimization for higher scheduling throughput (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing pods' preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin arg "ignor...

- kubeadm now supports the `--image-repository` flag for customizing what registry to pull images from ([#71135](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71135), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- A new kubelet command line option, `--reserved-cpus`, is introduced to explicitly define the CPU list that will be reserved for system. For example, if `--reserved-cpus=0,1,2,3` is specified, then cpu 0,1,2,3 will be reserved for the system.  On a system with 24 CPUs, the user may specify `isolcpus=4-23` for the kernel option and use CPU 4-23 for the user containers. ([#83592](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83592),...

*   You can now add "options" to the host's /etc/resolv.conf (or --resolv-conf), and they will be copied into pod's resolv.conf when dnsPolicy is Default. Being able to customize options is important because it is common to leverage options to fine-tune the behavior of DNS client.

- The `--quiet` option to `kubectl run` now suppresses resource deletion messages emitted when the `--rm` option is specified. ([#73266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73266), [@awh](https://github.com/awh))
