*   [beta] API chunking via the limit and continue request parameters is promoted...

- Fixes a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in 1.27 and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122815](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122815), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly)) [SIG Network]

* Added a 'kubeadm config migrate' command to convert old API types to their newer counterparts in the new, supported API types. This is just a client-side tool; it just executes locally without requiring a cluster to be running, operating in much the same way as a Unix pipe that upgrades config files.

  - [alpha] The `kubeadm` tool makes it much easier to bootstrap Kubernetes. ([docs](http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/kubeadm/)) ([kubernetes/features#11](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/11))

- Fixed a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in `1.27` and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122204), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

is unable to start in iptables mode because system requirements are not met
(kernel or iptables versions are insufficient), the kube-proxy will fall-back
to userspace mode. Kube-proxy is much more performant and less
resource-intensive in ‘iptables’ mode.
