One default that changed in @kubernetesio v1.25 releases was where we pull images from. Please note that we now use "". This works for all releases, not just v1.25. So please change any references in your automation tools to the new endpoint.

FWIW, If you peel the layers, the heart of @kubernetesio is just 5 binaries ( kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kubelet kube-proxy kube-scheduler ) and 1 CLI ( kubectl ), we still have a simple bash script that can stand up cluster with just these binaries.

Needless to say, but looks like it needs to be said .. if you have a large code base depending on an open source project. Don't wait until *AFTER* their release to check if your code still works. Try it when they publish alpha(s)/beta(s)/release-candidates(s) and complain EARLY!
