- Kubeadm: add support for certificate chain validation. When using kubeadm in external CA mode, this allows an intermediate CA to be used to sign the certificates. The intermediate CA certificate must be appended to each signed certificate for this to work correctly. ([#97266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97266), [@robbiemcmichael](https://github.com/robbiemcmichael)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  E0303 17:25:03.436809 63839 helpers.go:680] eviction manager: failed to construct signal: "allocatableMemory.available" error: system container "pods" not found in metrics ([#88970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88970), [@mysunshine92](https://github.com/mysunshine92)) [SIG Node]

### Failing Test

- E2e tests: fixed bug in the e2e image `agnhost:2.38` which hangs instead of exiting if a `SIGTERM` signal is received and the `shutdown-delay` option is `0`. ([#110214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110214), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

* fix azure disk not available issue when device name changed ([#57549](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57549), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Allow kubernetes components to react to SIGTERM signal and shutdown gracefully. ([#57756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57756), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

* Allow kubernetes components to react to SIGTERM signal and shutdown gracefully. ([#57756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57756), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

### Bug or Regression

- Fix an issue where eviction manager was not deleting unused images or containers when it detected containerfs signal. ([#127874](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127874), [@AnishShah](https://github.com/AnishShah)) [SIG Node]

- Fix kubelet from panic after getting the wrong signal ([#98200](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98200), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Node]
