* Update kube-dns to Version 1.14.9. Major changes: ([#61908](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61908), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))
    * - Fix for kube-dns returns NXDOMAIN when not yet synced with apiserver.
    * - Don't generate empty record for externalName service.
    * - Add validation for upstreamNameserver port.
    * - Update go version to 1.9.3.

 - CSINode initialization does not crash kubelet on startup when APIServer is not reachable or kubelet has not the right credentials yet. ([#89589](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89589), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Storage]

- 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` command. Alpha features, not yet ready for GA are still kept under `kubeadm alpha` and we appreciate feedback on them.

- Runtime handler and Windows npipe protocol are not supported yet in crictl v1.11.x. Those features will be supported in crictl [v1.12.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools/releases/tag/v1.12.0), together with Kubernetes v1.12.1.

* Created a new `dryRun` query parameter for mutating endpoints. If the parameter is set, then the query will be rejected, as the feature is not implemented yet. This will allow forward compatibility with future clients; otherwise, future clients talking with older apiservers might end up modifying a resource even if they include the `dryRun` query parameter. ([#63557](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63557),...

- Reverts graceful node shutdown to match 1.21 behavior of setting pods that have not yet successfully completed to "Failed" phase if the GracefulNodeShutdown feature is enabled in kubelet. The GracefulNodeShutdown feature is beta and must be explicitly configured via kubelet config to be enabled in 1.21+. This changes 1.22 and 1.23 behavior...

debugging, similar to how `kubectl exec` runs a process in an existing container. Also like `kubectl exec`, no resources are reserved for ephemeral containers and they are not restarted when they exit. Note that container namespace targeting is not yet implemented, so [process namespace sharing](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/share-process-namespace/) must be enabled to view process from other containers in the pod.
