### Network
- The official kube-proxy image (used by kubeadm, among other things) is now compatible with systems running iptables 1.8 in "nft" mode, and will autodetect which mode it should use. ([#82966](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82966), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- Update `kube-proxy` base image `debian-iptables` to v1.6.2 to pickup [documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/release/pull/2106)
  \n"- `debian-iptables`: select nft mode if ntf lines > legacy lines, matching [iptables-wrappers](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/iptables-wrappers/)" ([#102590](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102590), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))

- The (alpha) nftables mode of kube-proxy now requires version 1.0.1 or later
  of the nft command-line, and kernel 5.13 or later. (For testing/development
  purposes, you can use older kernels, as far back as 5.4, if you set the
  `nftables.skipKernelVersionCheck` option in the kube-proxy config, but this is not

  rules in the host network namespace can use the existence of this chain
  to more-reliably determine whether the system is using iptables-legacy or
  iptables-nft. ([#109059](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109059), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)
 - base-images: Use debian-base:v2.1.0 (update to Debian Buster, includes CVE fixes)
  - base-images: Use debian-iptables:v12.1.0 (update to Debian Buster, includes CVE fixes and iptables-nft/iptables-legacy wrapper) ([#90940](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90940), [@justaugustus](https://github.com/justaugustus)) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Release]
