- 'kubeadm: Stopped storing the ResolverConfig in the global KubeletConfiguration
  and sets it dynamically for each node instead.' ([#124038](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124038), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- 'kubeadm: fixed a regression where the KubeletConfiguration is not properly
  downloaded during "kubeadm upgrade" command from the kube-system/kubelet-config

- Kubeadm: enhanced the "patches" functionality to be able to patch kubelet config files containing `v1beta1.KubeletConfiguration`. The new patch target is called `kubeletconfiguration` (e.g. patch file `kubeletconfiguration+json.json`).This makes it possible to apply node specific KubeletConfiguration options during `init`, `join` and `upgrade`, while the main `KubeletConfiguration` that is passed to `init` as part of the `--config` file can still act as the global stored in the cluster `KubeletConfiguration`....

- Kubeadm: add the kubeadm specific, Alpha (disabled by default) feature gate UnversionedKubeletConfigMap. When this feature is enabled kubeadm will start using a new naming format for the ConfigMap where it stores the KubeletConfiguration structure. The old format included the Kubernetes version - "kube-system/kubelet-config-1.22", while the new format does not - "kube-system/kubelet-config". A similar formatting change is done for the related RBAC rules. The old format is now...

*   The Kubelet's feature gates are now specified as a map when provided via a JSON or YAML KubeletConfiguration, rather than as a string of key-value pairs, making them less awkward for...

* 'none' can now be specified in KubeletConfiguration.EnforceNodeAllocatable (--enforce-node-allocatable) to explicitly disable enforcement. ([#59515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59515), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

 - Kubeadm: Move the "kubeadm init" phase "kubelet-start" later in the init workflow, after the "kubeconfig" phase. This makes kubeadm start the kubelet only after the KubeletConfiguration component config file (/var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml) is generated and solves a...

- Kubeadm: fixed a bug on 'kubeadm join' where using patches with a kubeletconfiguration target was not respected when performing the local kubelet healthz check. ([#126251](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126251), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings when downloading the ClusterConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration or KubeProxyConfiguration objects from the cluster. This can be useful if the user has patched these objects in their respective ConfigMaps with mistakes. ([#107725](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107725), [@neolit123](https...
