- The commands `kubeadm certs renew` and `kubeadm certs check-expiration` now honor the `cert-dir` flag on a running Kubernetes cluster. ([#110709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110709), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave))

- Remove the deprecated flags `--csr-only` and `--csr-dir` from `kubeadm certs renew`. Please use `kubeadm certs generate-csr` instead. ([#104796](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104796), [@RA489](https://github.com/RA489))

* Fix error in `kubeadm join --discovery-file` when using discovery files with embedded credentials ([#80675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80675), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))
* make node lease renew interval more heuristic based on node-status-update-frequency in kubelet ([#80173](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80173), [@gaorong](https://github.com/gaorong))

- 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))

* kubeadm allows the kubelets in the cluster to automatically renew their client certificates ([#53252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53252), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))
