- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings when downloading the ClusterConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration or KubeProxyConfiguration objects from the cluster....

- Kubeadm: perform pre-flight validation on host/node name upon `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join`, showing warnings on non-compliant names ([#99194](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99194), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

- When entering a value other than "external" to the "--cloud-provider" flag for the kubelet, kube-controller-manager, and kube-apiserver, the user will now receive a warning in the logs about the disablement of internal cloud providers, this is in contrast to the previous warnings about deprecation.

  - The `--experimental-encryption-provider-config` flag is deprecated in favor of `--encryption-provider-config`. The old flag is accepted with a warning but will be removed in 1.14. ([#71206](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71206),...

- Graduated ServerSideFieldValidation to `beta`. Schema validation is performed server-side and requests will receive warnings for any invalid/unknown fields by default.

has some fixed limit (including persistent volume counts on cloud nodes, exclusive CPU cores, or unique hardware devices) could trigger the failure. While this behavior is correct it reduces the throughput of pod execution and creates user-visible warnings - [future versions of Kubernetes will minimize the likelihood users see pod failures due to this issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/106884). In general, any automation that creates pods [must take Kubelet rejections into acco...
