- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated `--csr-only` and `--csr-dir` flags from `kubeadm init phase certs`. Deprecate the same flags under `kubeadm certs renew`. In both the cases the command `kubeadm certs generate-csr` should be used instead. ([#102108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102108), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Update CNI to v0.8.6

## Action Required

### Certificates API
* Users of the alpha certificates API should delete v1alpha1 CSRs from the API before upgrading and recreate them as v1beta1 CSR after upgrading. ([#39772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39772), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))
