* - kubeadm now supports "ci/latest-1.8" or "ci-cross/latest-1.8" and similar labels. ([#49119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49119), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

- Kubeadm: update references to legacy artifacts locations, the `ci-cross` prefix has been removed from the version match as it does not exist in the new `gs://k8s-release-dev` bucket. ([#103813](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103813), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
