- Kubectl: restored `--dry-run`, `--dry-run=true`, and `--dry-run=false` for compatibility with pre-1.23 invocations. ([#107003](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107003), [@julianvmodesto](https://github.com/julianvmodesto))

- Kubeadm: now supports image repository format validation. ([#112732](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112732), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- Kubeadm: sub-phases are now able to support the dry-run mode, e.g. kubeadm reset phase cleanup-node --dry-run ([#112945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112945), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

	signal := serviceSignal(si)

		waitingDisks := waitingDrivesNode()
		if len(waitingDisks) > 0 {

- Add attempts label to scheduler's PodSchedulingDuration metric. ([#92650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92650), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g)) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]

- kubeadm: increased the verbosity of API client dry-run actions during the subcommands "init", "join", "upgrade" and "reset". It also allowed dry-run on 'kubeadm join' even if there was no existing cluster by utilizing a faked, in-memory cluster-info ConfigMap. ([#126776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126776), [@neolit123](https:...
