- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated `--csr-only` and `--csr-dir` flags from `kubeadm init phase certs`. Deprecate the same flags under `kubeadm certs renew`. In both the cases the command `kubeadm certs generate-csr` should be used instead. ([#102108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102108), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Update CNI to v0.8.6

## Action Required

### Certificates API
* Users of the alpha certificates API should delete v1alpha1 CSRs from the API before upgrading and recreate them as v1beta1 CSR after upgrading. ([#39772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39772), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

### Cluster Autoscaler

- Kubeadm: deprecate the "--csr-only" and "--csr-dir" flags of the "kubeadm init phase certs" subcommands. Please use "kubeadm alpha certs generate-csr" instead. This new command allows you to generate new private keys and certificate signing requests for all the control-plane components, so that the certificates can be signed by an external...

- kubeadm: Fixed the machine readability of `kubeadm token create --print-join-command` ([#75487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75487), [@displague](https://github.com/displague))

* `kubectl certificate approve|deny` will not modify an already approved or denied CSR unless the `--force` flag is provided. ([#61971](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61971), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
