#### **Federation**

*   Kubefed init now supports --imagePullSecrets and --imagePullPolicy, making it possible to use private registries. ([#50740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50740),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
*   Updated cluster printer to enable --show-labels ([#53771](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53771),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

- The flag `--experimental-patches` is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag `--patches`. Add a new field `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory` that can be used for the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that might change in the future. On a command line, the last...

econds_summary and *_admission_latencies_milliseconds metrics due to reporting wrong unit (was labelled milliseconds, but reported seconds), and multiple naming guideline violations (units should be in base units and "duration" is the best practice labelling to measure the time a request takes). Please convert to use *_admission_duration_seconds and *_admission_duration_seconds_summary, these now report the unit as described, and follow the instrumentation best practices.

- Fixed regression in CPUManager that it will release exclusive CPUs in app containers inherited from init containers when the init containers were removed. ([#104837](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104837), [@eggiter](https://github.com/eggiter))

And point to the file using the --config flag, as in

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag `--experimental-patches` for the `init|join|upgrade` commands. The flag `--patches` is no longer allowed in a mixture with the flag `--config`. Please use the kubeadm configuration for setting patches for a node using `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches`. ([#104065](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104065), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

 - Kubeadm: during "init" an empty cgroupDriver value in the KubeletConfiguration is now always set to "systemd" unless the user is explicit about it. This requires existing machine setups to configure the container runtime to use the "systemd" driver. Documentation on this...

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.
