- Kubeadm: graduate the "kubeadm alpha certs" command to a parent command "kubeadm certs". The command "kubeadm alpha certs" is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please migrate.

  mounting of /etc/pki/ca-trust and /etc/pki/tls/certs. The locations /etc/ca-certificate,
  /usr/share/ca-certificates, /usr/local/share/ca-certificates, and /etc/ssl/certs continued
  to be supported. ([#124361](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124361), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

* On cluster provision or upgrade, kubeadm now generates certs and secures all connections to the etcd static-pod with mTLS. This includes the etcd serving cert, the etcd peer cert, and the apiserver etcd client cert. Flags and hostMounts are added to the etcd and apiserver static-pods to load these certs. For connections to etcd, https is now used in favor of http. ([#57415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57415),...

- deprecate the usage of the experimental flag '--use-api' under the 'kubeadm alpha certs renew' command. ([#88827](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88827), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated `--csr-only` and `--csr-dir` flags from `kubeadm init phase certs`. Deprecate the same flags under `kubeadm certs renew`. In both the cases the command `kubeadm certs generate-csr` should be used instead. ([#102108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102108), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))
