- The "JoinConfiguration.discovery.timeout" field has been replaced by "JoinConfiguration.timeouts.discovery".
  - The "ClusterConfiguration.timeoutForControlPlane" field has been replaced by "{Init|Join}Configuration.timeouts.controlPlaneComponentHealthCheck".
  Please use the command "kubeadm config migrate" to migrate your existing v1beta3 configuration to v1beta4.

- Kubeadm: avoided uploading a defaulted flag value "--authorization-mode=Node,RBAC" for the kube-apiserver in the ClusterConfiguration stored in the "kube-system/kubeadm-config" ConfigMap. "Node,RBAC" are already the kubeadm defaults for this flag, so this action is redundant.
