- 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...

* [alpha] A new `phase` subcommand supports performing only subtasks of the full `kubeadm init` flow. Combined with fine-grained configuration, kubeadm is now more easily consumable by higher-level provisioning tools like kops or GKE.

- Kubeadm:  'kubeadm alpha kubelet config download' has been removed, please use 'kubeadm upgrade node phase kubelet-config' instead ([#87944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87944), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

default, kubeadm will use the local kube-apiserver endpoint for the kubelet when creating a cluster with `kubeadm init` or when joining control plane nodes with `kubeadm join`. Enabling the feature gate also affects the `kubeadm init phase kubeconfig kubelet` phase, where the flag `--control-plane-endpoint` no longer affects the generated kubeconfig `Server` field, but the flag `--apiserver-advertise-address` can now be used for the same purpose.
