- Removed local etcd members from the etcd cluster when `kubeadm reset` ([#74112](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74112), [@pytimer](https://github.com/pytimer))

- kubeadm: The kubeadm reset command has now been exposed as phases. ([#77847](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77847), [@yagonobre](https://github.com/yagonobre))

- kubeadm: Added better handling of errors during unmount when calling `kubeadm reset`. When failing to unmount directories under `/var/run/kubelet`, kubeadm will now throw an error instead of showing a warning and continuing to clean up said directory. In such situations, it is better for you to inspect the problem and resolve it manually. Then, you can call `kubeadm reset` again to complete the cleanup.

#### kube-controller-manager:
- Azure service annotation service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-disable-tcp-reset has been deprecated. Its support would be removed in a future release. ([#88462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88462), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

#### kubelet:

- kubeadm reset: unmount directories under `/var/lib/kubelet` for Linux only ([#81494](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81494), [@Klaven](https://github.com/Klaven))
- kubeadm: fix the bug that `--cri-socket` flag does not work for `kubeadm reset` ([#79498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79498), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

- `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane` now automatically adds a new etcd member for `local etcd` mode, further simplifying required tasks for HA clusters setup.
- Improvements were made to `kubeadm reset` related to cleaning  etcd and notifying the user about the state of iptables.
- kubeadm commands now print warnings if input YAML documents contain unknown or duplicate fields.

* kubeadm: reset: use crictl to reset containers ([#54721](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54721), [@runcom](https://github.com/runcom))

  // record of Assigned config is updated. If the Assigned config is Active at the end
  // of this period, it becomes the LastKnownGood. Note that if Spec.ConfigSource is
  // reset to nil (use local defaults), the LastKnownGood is also immediately reset to nil,
  // because the local default config is always assumed good.
  // You should not make assumptions about the node's method of determining config stability

- Kubeadm: prevent potential hanging of commands such as "kubeadm reset" if the apiserver endpoint is not reachable. ([#84648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84648), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

* Azure cloudprovider: Fix controller manager crash issue on a manually created k8s cluster. ([#53694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53694), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fix kubelet reset liveness probe failure count across pod restart boundaries. ([#46371](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46371), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))
