- Some kubeadm commands are now allowed to work in a completely offline mode.
- Certificate handling improvements:
  - Renew certs as part of upgrade.
  - New `kubeadm alpha phase certs renew` command for renewing certificates.
  - Certificates created with kubeadm now have improved uniqueness of Distinguished Name fields.
- HA improvements:

- Fix an error when using external etcd but storing etcd certificates in the same folder with the same name used by kubeadm for local etcd certificates; for an older version of kubeadm, the workaround is to avoid file name used by kubeadm for local etcd.

# v1.2.1

- Kubernetes 1.24 is built with go1.18, which will no longer validate certificates signed with a SHA-1 hash algorithm by default. See https://golang.org/doc/go1.18#sha1 for more details. If you are using certificates like this in admission or conversion ([#109024](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109024), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz))

o.example.net` to ensure the browser receives a valid reachable URL. Similarly, if your TLS certificates do not have the IP SAN for the MinIO server host, the MinIO Console may fail to validate the connection to the server. Use the `MINIO_SERVER_URL` environment variable and specify the proxy-accessible hostname of the MinIO server to allow the Console to use the MinIO server API using the TLS certificate. For example: `export MINIO_SERVER_URL="https://minio.example.net"` | Dashboard | Creating a...
