- `kubeadm`: will now allow deploying a kubelet that is 3 versions older than the version of `kubeadm` (N-3). This aligns with the recent change made by SIG Architecture that extends the support skew between the control plane and kubelets. Tolerate this new kubelet skew for the commands `init`, `join` and `upgrade`. Note that if the `kubeadm` user applies a control plane...

- Kube-scheduler: fixes a 1.27.14 regression that can lead to a scheduler crash when processing pods with affinity that doesn't match a real/valid node ([#125043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125043), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

	// Currently AWS supports only AES256. So the SSE-C key size is fixed to 32 bytes.

    * This more closely aligns rest client as a generic RESTful client, while preserving the special Kube API extended error handling for the `Get` and `Into` methods (which most Kube clients use).

  Bump NodeProblemDetector version to v0.8.0 to reduce forced NodeStatus updates frequency to 5 minutes. ([#84007](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84007), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
