- Kubernetes now correctly handles "search ." in the host's resolv.conf file by preserving the "." entry in the "resolv.conf" that the kubelet writes to pods. ([#109441](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109441), [@Miciah](https://github.com/Miciah)) [SIG Network and Node]

  nameserver 1.2.3.4.
  ```
  "upstreamNameservers": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
  ```
  is a list of upstreamNameservers to use, overriding the configuration
  specified in /etc/resolv.conf.

* An empty `kube-system:kube-dns` ConfigMap will be created for the cluster if one did not already exist.

- Avoided propagating hosts `search .` into containers in `/etc/resolv.conf`. ([#112157](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112157), [@dghubble](https://github.com/dghubble))

* kubeadm: fix a bug where standard kubeconfig paths were searched even if the user provided /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf explicitly for commands that accept --kubeconfig, like kubeadm token. ([#71874](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71874), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))
    * kubeadm: use the default kubeconfig (/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf) for "kubeadm reset" and "kubeadm upgrade" commands.

- Images for cloud-controller-manager, kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler now contain a minimal /etc/nsswitch.conf and should respect /etc/hosts for lookups ([#69238](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69238), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))

### SIG Scheduling

* make --runtime-config=api/all=true|false work ([#32582](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32582), [@jlowdermilk](https://github.com/jlowdermilk))
* Added new kubelet flags `--cni-bin-dir` and `--cni-conf-dir` to specify where CNI files are located. ([#32151](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32151), [@bboreham](https://github.com/bboreham))
    * Fixed CNI configuration on GCI platform when using CNI.

- Fixed panic in vSphere e2e tests. ([#115863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115863), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Storage and Testing]
- Setting the Kubelet config option `--resolv-conf=Host` on Windows will now result in Kubelet applying the Pod DNS Policies as intended. ([#110566](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110566), [@claudiubelu](https://github.com/claudiubelu))
