v1.4.12

Important Registry Change Information

In November, we announced that we are changing all image references from k8s.gcr.io to registry.k8s.io to keep up with the latest upstream changes. This patch release includes this change. Please ensure that any mirrors you use are able to host registry.k8s.io and/or that firewall rules are going to allow access to registry.k8s.io to pull images before upgrading to this KubeOne patch release.

The December Kubernetes patch releases (1.25.5, 1.24.9, 1.23.15, and 1.22.17) are enforcing registry.k8s.io by default. Please keep this in mind if you're using an older KubeOne patch release with the latest Kubernetes patch releases. We strongly advise that you use KubeOne v1.5.4 or newer with the latest Kubernetes patch releases.
