* kubelet `--cert-dir` now defaults to `/var/lib/kubelet/pki`, in order to ensure bootstrapped and rotated certificates persist beyond a reboot. resolves an issue in kubeadm with false-positive `/var/lib/kubelet is not empty` message during pre-flight checks ([#53317](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53317), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))...

- New configuration is introduced to the kubelet that allows it to track container images and the list of authentication information that leads to their successful pulls. This data is persisted across reboots of the host and restarts of the kubelet.
