* Adds a new `kubeadm config` command that lets users tell `kubeadm upgrade` what kubeadm configuration to use and lets users view the current state. ([#50980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50980), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

### Bug or Regression

- Fixes a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in 1.27 and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122815](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122815), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly)) [SIG Network]

- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases.

- kubeadm now properly recognizes Docker 18.09.0 and newer, but still treats 18.06 as the default supported version.
