* kubelet `--cert-dir` now defaults to `/var/lib/kubelet/pki`, in order to ensure bootstrapped and rotated certificates persist beyond a reboot. resolves an issue in kubeadm with false-positive `/var/lib/kubelet is not empty` message during pre-flight checks ([#53317](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53317), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  Previously, for IPv6, if the podSubnet had a mask lower than /112, kubeadm calculated a node-mask to be multiple of eight and splitting the available bits to maximise the number used for nodes.

- The deprecated flag `--hard-pod-affinity-symmetric-weight` and `--scheduler-name` have been removed from `kube-scheduler`. Use `ComponentConfig` instead to configure those parameters. ([#102805](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102805), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

- Kube-proxy service health returns http header `X-Load-Balancing-Endpoint-Weight` with number of local endpoints. The same information is still available in response body JSON `payload.LocalEndpoints`.

  After the connection closed(received GOAWAY), the client's other in-flight requests won't be affected, and the client will reconnect. 
  The flag min value is 0 (off), max is .02 (1/50 requests); .001 (1/1000) is a recommended starting point.

    Potential impacts:
