- kubeadm: make sure pre-pulled kube-proxy image and the one specified in its daemon set manifest are the same ([#67131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67131), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))
- kubeadm: remove misleading error message regarding image pulling ([#66658](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66658), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kubeadm: change the default image repository for CI images from 'gcr.io/kubernetes-ci-images' to 'gcr.io/k8s-staging-ci-images' ([#97087](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97087), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

### Added

- hyperkube: Use debian-hyperkube-base@v1.1.0 image
  
    A previous release built hyperkube using the debian-hyperkube-base@v1.0.0,
    which was updated to address a CVE in the CNI plugins.
    
    A side-effect of using this new image was that the networking packages
    (namely `iptables`) drifted from the versions used in the kube-proxy images.
  

* Fixes storage e2e test failures in GKE regional clusters. ([#61303](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61303), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] Update fluentd and event-exporter images to have the latest base image. ([#61726](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61726), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
