- Fix: resize Azure disk issue when it's in attached state ([#96705](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96705), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fixed a bug that prevents kubectl to validate CRDs with schema using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields on object fields.

* Minikube version 0.22.2 or lower does not work with kubectl version 1.8 or higher. This issue is caused by the presence of an unregistered type in the minikube API server. New versions of kubectl force validate the OpenAPI schema, which is not registered with all known types in the minikube API server.

### SIG Cluster Lifecycle

- kubeadm: Updates version of CoreDNS to 1.2.6 ([#70796](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70796), [@detiber](https://github.com/detiber))
- kubeadm: Validate kubeconfig files in case of external CA mode. ([#70537](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70537), [@yagonobre](https://github.com/yagonobre))

- The new test `[sig-network] DNS should now provide /etc/hosts entries for the cluster [LinuxOnly] [Conformance]` will validate the host entries set in the ``/etc/hosts`` file (pod's FQDN and hostname), which should be managed by Kubelet.
