removal of dockershim related flags for new kubeadm clusters. If kubelet <1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 can continue using the built-in dockershim in the kubelet if the user passes the `{Init|Join}Configuration.nodeRegistration.criSocket` value in the kubeadm configuration to be equal to `unix:///var/run/dockershim.sock` on Unix or `npipe:////./pipe/dockershim` on Windows. If kubelet version >=1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 will treat all container runtimes as "remote" using the kubelet flags...

* CRI now defines mounting behavior. If the host path doesn't exist, the runtime should return an error. If the host path is a symlink, the runtime should follow the symlink and mount the real destination to the container.

* change azure disk host cache to ReadOnly by default ([#72229](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72229), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

`admin.conf` was bound to `system:masters` Group, which was undesired. Executing `kubeadm init phase kubeconfig all` or just `kubeadm init` will now generate the new `super-admin.conf` file. The cluster admin can then decide to keep the file present on a node host or move it to a safe location. `kubadm certs renew` will renew the certificate in `super-admin.conf` to one year if the file exists; if it does not exist a "MISSING" note will be printed. `kubeadm upgrade apply` for this release will migrate this particular...

* [fluentd-gcp addon] Fluentd now runs in its own network, not in the host one. ([#54395](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54395), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

* Fix device mountable volume names in DSW to prevent races in device mountable plugin, e.g. local. ([#71509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71509), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- The go version defined in `.go-version` is now fetched when invoking test, build, and code generation targets if the current go version does not match it. Set $FORCE_HOST_GO=y while testing or building to skip this behavior, or set $GO_VERSION to override the selected go version.

  and removed `--short` flag entirely. ([#116720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116720), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
- Kube-controller-manager deprecate `--volume-host-cidr-denylist` and `--volume-host-allow-local-loopback` flags. ([#118128](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118128), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Network, Node, Storage and Testing]

power to both local storage and Persistent Volumes. [Mount namespace propagation](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/432) allows a container to mount a volume as rslave so that host mounts can be seen inside the container, or as rshared so that mounts made inside a container can be seen by the host. (Note that this is [not supported on Windows](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60275).)
