- The  command line option  --cri-socket-path of the kubeadm subcommand "kubeadm config images pull" has been renamed to --cri-socket to be consistent with the rest of kubeadm subcommands.

- Ensure Azure availability zone is always in lower cases. ([#89722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89722), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fix failing conformance when using docker container runtime w/ the docker/journald logging driver. [#87933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87933) ([#88586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88586), [@jdef](https://github.com/jdef)) [SIG Node]

* kubeadm now detects the Docker cgroup driver and starts the kubelet with the matching driver. This eliminates a common error experienced by new users in when the Docker cgroup driver is not the same as the one set for the kubelet due to different Linux distributions setting different cgroup drivers for Docker, making it hard to start the kubelet properly.

* On GCI, NPD starts to monitor kubelet, docker, containerd crashlooping, read-only filesystem and corrupt docker overlay2 issues. ([#71522](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71522), [@wangzhen127](https://github.com/wangzhen127))
