* Update GCI base image: ([#34156](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34156), [@adityakali](https://github.com/adityakali))
   * Enabled VXLAN and IP_SET config options in kernel to support some networking tools (ebtools)
   * OpenSSL CVE fixes
* ContainerVm/GCI image: try to use ifdown/ifup if available ([#33595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33595), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))

- Updated cri-tools to v1.33.0. ([#131406](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131406), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

efficiently. kubeadm has promoted high availability (HA) capability to beta, allowing users to use the familiar `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join` commands to [configure and deploy an HA control plane](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/high-availability/). An entire new test suite has been created specifically for ensuring these features will stay stable over time.

Certificate management has become more robust in 1.15, with kubeadm now seamlessly rotating all...

One of the **biggest benefits** is that now you can create `Annotated` dependencies that are then shared by multiple *path operation functions*, this will allow you to **reduce** a lot of **code duplication** in your codebase, while keeping all the support from editors and tools.

For example, you could have code like this:

* [Role-based access control (RBAC)](https://kubernetes.io//docs/admin/authorization/rbac) has graduated to beta, and defines secure default roles for control plane, node, and controller components.
* The [`kubeadm` cluster bootstrap tool](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/kubeadm/) has graduated to beta. Some highlights:
  * **WARNING:** A [known issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/43815)

- client-go releases will no longer have bootstrap (k8s.io/client-go/tools/bootstrap) related code. Any reference to it will break. Please redirect all references to k8s.io/bootstrap instead. ([#67356](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67356), [@yliaog](https://github.com/yliaog))
