- Certain fields on  Service objects will be automatically cleared when changing the service's `type` to a mode that does not need those fields.  For example, changing from type=LoadBalancer to type=ClusterIP will clear the NodePort assignments, rather than forcing the user to clear them. ([#95196](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95196), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Network and Testing]

  - Added validation to enforce the hugepage aggregated container limits to be smaller than or equal to pod-level limits. This was already enforced with the defaulted requests from the specified limits, however it did not make it clear about both hugepage requests and limits.

- Fixed a bug in the scheduler that could cause the scheduler to go to an infinite loop when all nodes in a zone are removed. ([#69758](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69758), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
- Clear pod binding cache on bind error to make sure stale pod binding cache will not be used. ([#71212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71212), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- Make Azure clients only retry on specified HTTP status codes ([#88017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88017), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Make error message and service event message more clear ([#86078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86078), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* Update Calico version to v2.6.6 ([#58482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58482), [@tmjd](https://github.com/tmjd))
* Detach and clear bad disk URI ([#58345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58345), [@rootfs](https://github.com/rootfs))

- When specifying an invalid value for a label, it was not always clear which label the value was specified for. Starting with this release, the label's key is included in such error messages, which makes debugging easier.

- When `SchedulerQueueingHints` is enabled, clear events cached in the scheduling queue as soon as possible so that the scheduler consumes less memory. ([#120586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120586), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Reworded log message upon image garbage collection failure to be more clear. ([#112631](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112631), [@tzneal](https://github.com/tzneal)) [SIG Node]
