Kubelet does not use strong cryptographic ciphers

Description

Ensure that the Kubelet is configured to only use strong cryptographic ciphers. TLS ciphers have had a number of known vulnerabilities and weaknesses, which can reduce the protection provided by them. By default Kubernetes supports a number of TLS ciphersuites including some that have security concerns, weakening the protection provided.

Fix - Buildtime
