*   The Kubelet's feature gates are now specified as a map when provided via a JSON or YAML KubeletConfiguration, rather than as a string of key-value pairs, making them less awkward for users. ([#53025](https://github.com/kubernetes/k...

* Fix aggressive VM calls for Azure VMSS ([#83102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83102), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

    * Disable timestamp adjustment in logs to optimize performance.
    * Reduce logging agent buffer chunk limit to 512k to optimize performance.

- Kubeadm: fix a regression where the KubeletConfiguration is not properly downloaded during "kubeadm upgrade" commands from the kube-system/kubelet-config ConfigMap, resulting in the local '/var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml' file being written as a defaulted config.
