- Kubeadm: fix a whitespace issue in the output of the "kubeadm join" command shown as the output of "kubeadm init" and "kubeadm token create --print-join-command" ([#97413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97413), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

 `--token-ttl 0` to `kubeadm init`. The default token can later be deleted with
 `kubeadm token delete`.

 - `kubeadm join` now delegates TLS Bootstrapping to the kubelet itself, instead
 of reimplementing the process. `kubeadm join` writes the bootstrap kubeconfig
 file to `/etc/kubernetes/bootstrap-kubelet.conf`.

#### Defaults

- Fallback from OpenAPI V3 to V2 when the OpenAPI V3 document is invalid or incomplete. ([#117980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117980), [@seans3](https://github.com/seans3)) [SIG CLI]
- Fix bug where `listOfStrings.join()` in CEL expressions resulted in an unexpected internal error. ([#117596](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117596), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]

flag `--experimental-patches` is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag `--patches`. Add a new field `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory` that can be used for the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that might change in the future. On a command line, the last *patches...

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag `--experimental-patches` for the `init|join|upgrade` commands. The flag `--patches` is no longer allowed in a mixture with the flag `--config`. Please use the kubeadm configuration for setting patches for a node using `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches`.

### Changed

- Kube-up now includes CoreDNS version v1.9.3. ([#110488](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110488), [@mzaian](https://github.com/mzaian))
- Kubeadm: Added support for additional authentication strategies in `kubeadm join` with discovery/kubeconfig file: client-go authentication plugins (`exec`), `tokenFile`, and `authProvider.` ([#110553](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110553), [@tallaxes](https://github.com/tallaxes))

- kubeadm: added the `WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents` feature gate. It could be used to tell kubeadm to wait for all control plane components to be ready when running "kubeadm init" or "kubeadm join --control-plane". Previously, kubeadm only waited for the kube-apiserver. The "kubeadm join" workflow now includes a new experimental phase called "wait-control-plane". This phase was marked as non-experimental when WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents became GA. Accordingly, a "kubeadm init" phase...

- Kubeadm: added `show-join-command` as a new separate phase at the end of `kubeadm init`. You can skip printing the join information by using `kubeadm init --skip-phases=show-join-command`. Executing only this phase on demand will throw an error because the phase needs dependencies such as bootstrap tokens to be pre-populated. ([#111512](https://git...
