the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that might change in the future. On a command line, the last *patches flag takes precedence over previous flags and the value in config. `kubeadm upgrade --patches` will continue to be the only available option, since `upgrade` does not support a configuration file yet.

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kubelet`:

- Fixed missing flags in `-controller-manager --help`. ([#71298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71298), [@stewart-yu](https://github.com/stewart-yu))
- Fixed missing flags in `kube-apiserver --help`. ([#70204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70204), [@imjching](https://github.com/imjching))

- Kubeadm: only enable the klog flags that are still supported for kubeadm, rather than hiding the unwanted flags. This means that the previously unrecommended hidden flags about klog (including `--alsologtostderr`, `--log-backtrace-at`, `--log-dir`, `--logtostderr`, `--log-file`, `--log-file-max-size`, `--one-output`, `--skip-log-headers`, `--stderrthreshold`...

- Kube-apiserver: the insecure address flags `--address`, `--insecure-bind-address`, `--port` and `--insecure-port` (inert since 1.20) are removed ([#106859](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106859), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42))

    * Use autoscaling/v1 in kubectl by default.
* federation: Adding dnsprovider flags to federation-controller-manager ([#27158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27158), [@nikhiljindal](https://github.com/nikhiljindal))

*   The API group/version for the kube-proxy configuration has changed from `componentconfig/v1alpha1` to `kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`. If you are using a config file for kube-proxy instead of the command line flags, you must change its apiVersion to `kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`.
