- E2e framework: the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint has been removed from the default value of `--non-blocking-taints` flag. You may need to set `--non-blocking-taints` explicitly if the cluster to be tested has nodes with the deprecated `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint.

* Federation control plane can be upgraded by updating the image
fields in the `Deployment` specs of the control plane components.
However, federation control plane upgrades were not tested in this
release [38537](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/38537)

## Notable Changes to Existing Behavior

* Fix a bug affecting nested data volumes such as secret, configmap, etc. ([#57422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57422), [@joelsmith](https://github.com/joelsmith))

- `kube-proxy` with `--proxy-mode=ipvs` can be used with statically linked kernels.
  The reseved IPv4 range `TEST-NET-2` in `rfc5737` MUST NOT be used for `ClusterIP` or `loadBalancerIP` since address `198.51.100.0` is used for probing. ([#114669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114669), [@uablrek](https://github.com/uablrek))

image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the "coredns"  image name instead of  "coredns/coredns", thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the "clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository" value including the nested path name (e.g using "registry.company.xyz/coredns" will force kubeadm to use "registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns" image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). ...
