Kubelet to establish connections to Pods, retrieve container logs, and more. While Kubernetes already validates the proxying address for Nodes, a bug in kube-apiserver made it possible to bypass this validation. Bypassing this validation could allow authenticated requests destined for Nodes to be redirected to the API Server through its private network.

The merged fix enforces validation against the proxying address for a Node. In some cases, the fix can break clients that depend on the...

  - warn - perform server-side validation and warn on any invalid fields (but ultimately let the request succeed by dropping any invalid fields from the object). If validation is not available on the server, perform no validation.

- Fixed EndpointSlice port name validation to match Endpoint port name validation (allowing port names longer than 15 characters) ([#84481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84481), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

- `StatefulSet` names must be DNS labels, rather than subdomains. Any `StatefulSet`
  which took advantage of subdomain validation (by having dots in the name) can't
  possibly have worked, because we eventually set `pod.spec.hostname` from the `StatefulSetName`,
  and that is validated as a DNS label. ([#114172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114172), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

that workloads (e.g. Deployments, DaemonSets, etc.) which used `PersistentDisk` volumes were using them in read-only mode.  This validation provided very little value at relatively host implementation cost, and will no longer be validated.  If this is a problem for a specific use-case, please set the `SkipReadOnlyValidationGCE` gate to false to re-enable the validation, and file a Kubernetes bug with details. ([#121083](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121083), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))...

//     restrictions like, "must refer only to types A and B" or "UID not honored" or "name must be restricted".
//     Those cannot be well described when embedded.
//  3. Inconsistent validation.  Because the usages are different, the validation rules are different by usage, which makes it hard for users to predict what will happen.

### Bug or Regression

- EndpointSlice IP validation now matches Endpoints IP validation. ([#101084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101084), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- `kubeadm`: added a new "kubeadm config validate" command that can be used to
  validate any input config file. Use the `--config` flag to pass a config file
  to it. See the command `--help` screen for more information. As a result of adding
  this new command, enhance the validation capabilities of the existing "kubeadm
