In previous versions, the whole object was logged in audit events. Starting in 1.11, only `status`, `reason`, and `code` are logged. Code that relies on the older version must be updated to avoid errors.

- Fix an error when using external etcd but storing etcd certificates in the same folder with the same name used by kubeadm for local etcd certificates; for an older version of kubeadm, the workaround is to avoid file name used by kubeadm for local etcd.

* gitRepo volumes in pods no longer require git 1.8.5 or newer, older git versions are supported too now. ([#62394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62394), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

- Kubernetes v1.13 moves support for Container Storage Interface to GA. As part of this move Kubernetes now supports CSI v1.0.0 and deprecates support for CSI 0.3 and older releases. Older CSI drivers must be updated to CSI 1.0 and moved to the new kubelet plugin registration directory in order to work with Kubernetes 1.15+.

- The (alpha) nftables mode of kube-proxy now requires version 1.0.1 or later
  of the nft command-line, and kernel 5.13 or later. (For testing/development
  purposes, you can use older kernels, as far back as 5.4, if you set the
  `nftables.skipKernelVersionCheck` option in the kube-proxy config, but this is not
  recommended in production since it may cause problems with other nftables

- `kubeadm`: will now allow deploying a kubelet that is 3 versions older than the version of `kubeadm` (N-3). This aligns with the recent change made by SIG Architecture that extends the support skew between the control plane and kubelets. Tolerate this new kubelet skew for the commands `init`, `join` and `upgrade`. Note that if the `kubeadm` user applies a control plane version that is older than the `kubeadm` version (N-1 maximum) then the skew between the kubelet and control...
