- Kubeadm: added `show-join-command` as a new separate phase at the end of `kubeadm init`. You can skip printing the join information by using `kubeadm init --skip-phases=show-join-command`. Executing only this phase on demand will throw an error because the phase needs dependencies such as bootstrap tokens to be pre-populated.

- kubeadm has graduated `kubeadm alpha phase` commands to `kubeadm init phase`. This means that the phases of creating a control-plane node are now tightly integrated as part of the `init` command. Alpha features, not yet ready for GA are still kept under `kubeadm alpha` and we appreciate feedback on them.

- Fixed a kubelet issue that could result in invalid pod status updates to be sent to the api-server where pods would be reported in a terminal phase but also report a ready condition of true in some cases.

- kubeadm: introduce deterministic ordering for the certificates generation in the phase command `kubeadm init phase certs`. ([#78556](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78556), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- If `kubeadm reset` finds no etcd member ID for the peer it removes during the `remove-etcd-member` phase, it continues immediately to other phases, instead of retrying the phase for up to 3 minutes before continuing.

running "kubeadm init" or "kubeadm join --control-plane". Previously, kubeadm only waited for the kube-apiserver. The "kubeadm join" workflow now includes a new experimental phase called "wait-control-plane". This phase was marked as non-experimental when WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents became GA. Accordingly, a "kubeadm init" phase "wait-control-plane" was also available once WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents became GA. These phases could be skipped if the user preferred not to wait for the control plane...
