* [alpha] A new `phase` subcommand supports performing only subtasks of the full `kubeadm init` flow. Combined with fine-grained configuration, kubeadm is now more easily consumable by higher-level provisioning tools like kops or GKE. ([#356](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/356), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

default, kubeadm will use the local kube-apiserver endpoint for the kubelet when creating a cluster with `kubeadm init` or when joining control plane nodes with `kubeadm join`. Enabling the feature gate also affects the `kubeadm init phase kubeconfig kubelet` phase, where the flag `--control-plane-endpoint` no longer affects the generated kubeconfig `Server` field, but the flag `--apiserver-advertise-address` can now be used for the same purpose.

- NodeVolumeLimits implement the `PreFilter` extension point for skipping the Filter phase if the Pod doesn't use volumes with limits. ([#115398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115398), [@tangwz](https://github.com/tangwz)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Fixed a kubelet issue that could result in invalid pod status updates to be sent to the api-server where pods would be reported in a terminal phase but also report a ready condition of true in some cases.

- Kubeadm:  'kubeadm alpha kubelet config download' has been removed, please use 'kubeadm upgrade node phase kubelet-config' instead ([#87944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87944), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

 - Kubeadm: Move the "kubeadm init" phase "kubelet-start" later in the init workflow, after the "kubeconfig" phase. This makes kubeadm start the kubelet only after the KubeletConfiguration component config file (/var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml) is generated and solves a problem where init systems like OpenRC cannot crashloop the...

* kubeadm: add mandatory "--config" flag to "kubeadm alpha phase preflight" ([#68446](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68446), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

    * See https://istio.io/news/releases/0.x/announcing-0.6/ for full Isto release notes.
* Phase `kubeadm alpha phase kubelet` is added to support dynamic kubelet configuration in kubeadm. ([#57224](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57224), [@xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))

- If `kubeadm reset` finds no etcd member ID for the peer it removes during the `remove-etcd-member` phase, it continues immediately to other phases, instead of retrying the phase for up to 3 minutes before continuing.
