+* If storing the state in an S3 bucket, it is now required to either [deactivate gossip support](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/issues/15684#issuecomment-1645384421) (`--dns=none`) or - for example - provide the credentials via cloud-init. Due to changes in [PR#15646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/pull/15646/files#diff-c1c852aea92883d3117fae99c1610c5cdcbc217f5aa3b340f23b5dd02e971d99L136-L145) the `S3_*` variables will not get passed on to the boot script of the [nodes anymore](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/pull/15691). As a result the `kops-configuration.service` will throw an `EnvAccessKeyNotFound: failed to find credentials in the environment.` error and they will not join the cluster. Deactivating the gossip support will make the nodes contact the API servers for the bootstrap information.

 ## Other breaking changes
 
 * Support for Kubernetes version 1.21 has been removed.
