- Kubeadm: Used output/v1alpha3 to print structural output for the commands "kubeadm config images list" and "kubeadm token list". ([#124464](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124464), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated command "kubeadm alpha kubeconfig". Please use "kubeadm kubeconfig" instead. ([#101938](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101938), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubeadm: `kubeadm upgrade apply` now supports phase sub-command, user can use `kubeadm upgrade apply phase <phase-name>` to execute the specified phase, or use `kubeadm upgrade apply --skip-phases <phase-names>` to skip some phases during cluster upgrade. ([#126032](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126032), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- kubeadm has graduated `kubeadm alpha phase` commands to `kubeadm init phase`. This means that the phases of creating a control-plane node are now tightly integrated as part of the `init`...

Executing `kubeadm init phase kubeconfig all` or just `kubeadm init` will now generate the new `super-admin.conf` file. The cluster admin can then decide to keep the file present on a node host or move it to a safe location. `kubadm certs renew` will renew the certificate in `super-admin.conf` to one year if the file exists; if it does not exist a "MISSING" note will be printed. `kubeadm upgrade apply` for this release will migrate this particular node to the two file setup. Subsequent kubeadm releases...

ironment/tools/kubeadm/high-availability/). An entire new test suite has been created specifically for ensuring these features will stay stable over time.

Certificate management has become more robust in 1.15, with kubeadm now seamlessly rotating all your certificates (on upgrades) before they expire. Check the [kubeadm documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/dev-1.15/content/en/docs/reference/setup-tools/kubeadm/kubeadm-alpha.md) for information on how to manage your...

- Kubeadm: deprecate self-hosting support. The experimental command "kubeadm alpha self-hosting" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. ([#95125](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95125), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- kubeadm: added the `WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents` feature gate. It could be used to tell kubeadm to wait for all control plane components to be ready when running "kubeadm init" or "kubeadm join --control-plane". Previously, kubeadm only waited for the kube-apiserver. The "kubeadm join" workflow now includes a new experimental phase called "wait-control-plane". This phase was marked as non-experimental...

- Kubeadm: `kubeadm config view` command has been deprecated and will be removed in a feature release, please use `kubectl get cm -o yaml -n kube-system kubeadm-config` to get the kubeadm config directly ([#92740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92740), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
