- Kubeadm: added the experimental (alpha) feature gate `EtcdLearnerMode` that allows etcd members to be joined as learner and only then promoted as voting members ([#113318](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113318), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

  * Fix journalctl leak
  * Fix container memory rss
  * Fix incorrect CPU usage with 4.7 kernel
  * OOM parser uses kmsg
  * Add hugepages support
  * Add CRI-O support

- `kubeadm`: promoted feature gate `EtcdLearnerMode` to `beta`. Learner mode for
  joining `etcd` members is now enabled by default. ([#120228](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120228), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

- Kubernetes 1.24 bumped version of golang it is compiled with to go1.18, which introduced significant changes to its garbage collection algorithm. As a result, we observed an increase in memory usage for kube-apiserver in larger an heavily loaded clusters up to ~25% (with the benefit of API call latencies drop by up to 10x on 99th percentiles). If the memory increase is not acceptable for you you can mitigate by setting GOGC env variable (for our tests using GOGC=63 brings...
