- Controller-manager: the following flags have no effect and would be removed in v1.24:
  - `--port`
  - `--address`
  The insecure port flags `--port` may only be set to 0 now.
- Kube-scheduler: the `--port` and `--address` flags have no effect and would be removed in v1.24.
  The insecure port flags `--port` may only be set to 0 now.

* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously leaked flag, --cloud-provider-gce-lb-src-cidrs, has been entirely removed from the Kubelet's command-line...

### kubeadm
* Quite a few flags been renamed or removed.  Those options that are removed as flags can still be accessed via the config file.  Most notably this includes external etcd settings and the option for setting the cloud provider on the API server.  The [kubeadm reference documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/) is up to date with the new flags.

### Other Deprecations

- Kubeadm: only enable the klog flags that are still supported for kubeadm, rather than hiding the unwanted flags. This means that the previously unrecommended hidden flags about klog (including `--alsologtostderr`, `--log-backtrace-at`, `--log-dir`, `--logtostderr`, `--log-file`, `--log-file-max-size`, `--one-output`, `--skip-log-headers`, `--stderrthreshold`...

- Kubelet now exposes `/debug/flags/v` to allow dynamically setting glog logging level.  For example, to change glog level to 3, you only have to send a PUT request like `curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug/flags/v -d "3"`.
