* Instances of [HttpUrl] are well-formed and always have a scheme, host, and path. With
 * `java.net.URL` it's possible to create an awkward URL like `http:/` with scheme and path but no
 * hostname. Building APIs that consume such malformed values is difficult!
 *
 * This class has a modern API. It avoids punitive checked exceptions: [toHttpUrl] throws
 * [IllegalArgumentException] on invalid input or [toHttpUrlOrNull] returns null if the input is an

- Kubeadm: avoid panicing if the user has malformed the kubeconfig in the cluster-info config map to not include a valid current context. Include proper validation at the appropriate locations and throw errors instead. ([#134725](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134725), [@neolit123]...

### Design

- Prevent logging of docker config contents if file is malformed ([#95346](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95346), [@sfowl](https://github.com/sfowl)) [SIG Auth and Node]

### Bug or Regression

- Kubelet: added validation for labels provided with --node-labels. Malformed labels will result in errors. ([#109263](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109263), [@FeLvi-zzz](https://github.com/FeLvi-zzz))

* Fix aggressive VM calls for Azure VMSS ([#83102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83102), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- Kube-apiserver: the `--encryption-provider-config` file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior. When `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` is used, new encryption config files that contain typos after the kube-apiserver is running are treated as invalid...
