### Kubernetes API Reference Documentation

* kubeadm: reset: use crictl to reset containers ([#54721](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54721), [@runcom](https://github.com/runcom))

- If `kubeadm reset` finds no etcd member ID for the peer it removes during the `remove-etcd-member` phase, it continues immediately to other phases, instead of retrying the phase for up to 3 minutes before continuing. ([#117948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117948),...

* Fix an issue where port forwarding doesn't forward local TCP6 ports to the pod ([#57457](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57457), [@vfreex](https://github.com/vfreex))
* Correctly handle transient connection reset errors on GET requests from client library. ([#58520](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58520), [@porridge](https://github.com/porridge))

- kube-dns is deprecated and will not be supported in a future version ([#86574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86574), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

   - In version 1.8, enable this behavior by setting the
     `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients` flag to `true`.

   - In version 1.9, this behavior will be enabled by default, and must be explicitly
     disabled by setting the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients` flag to `false`.

### Cluster Lifecycle

  generate http.Transports for the clients.
  
  - `rest_client_transport_cache_entries` is a gauge metric
  with the number of existing entries in the internal cache
  
  - `rest_client_transport_create_calls_total` is a counter
  that increments each time a new transport is created, storing
  the result of the operation needed to generate it: hit, miss

- Kubeadm: prevent potential hanging of commands such as "kubeadm reset" if the apiserver endpoint is not reachable. ([#84648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84648), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

* Extender preemption should respect IsInterested() ([#66291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66291), [@resouer](https://github.com/resouer))

- `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane` now automatically adds a new etcd member for `local etcd` mode, further simplifying required tasks for HA clusters setup.
- Improvements were made to `kubeadm reset` related to cleaning  etcd and notifying the user about the state of iptables.
- kubeadm commands now print warnings if input YAML documents contain unknown or duplicate fields.
