- The label applied to control-plane nodes "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release after a GA deprecation period.
  - Introduce a new label "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane" that will be applied in parallel to "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" until the removal of the "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" label.

- Enhanced cloud provider integrations to support optional, per-Node custom labels that can be supplied and applied to Nodes by the node controller. These extra labels will only be applied where the cloud provider integration supports this feature.

  - `v1alpha3` has split apart `MasterConfiguration` into separate components; `InitConfiguration`, `ClusterConfiguration`, `JoinConfiguration`, `KubeletConfiguration`, and `KubeProxyConfiguration`
  - Different configuration types can be supplied all in the same file separated by `---`.
- Improved CRI handling
  - crictl is no longer required in docker-only setups.
  - Better detection of installed CRI.
  - Better output for image pull errors.

[Auditing](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/) is now enabled behind a featureGate in kubeadm. A user can supply their own audit policy with configuration option as well as a place for the audit logs to live. If no policy is supplied a default policy will be provided. The default policy will log all Metadata level policy logs. It is the example provided in the documentation.
