* If you are not switching kube-proxy between different modes, this change should not require any action.

- Bind metadata-agent containers to linux nodes to avoid Windows scheduling on kubernetes cluster includes linux nodes and windows nodes ([#83363](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83363), [@wawa0210](https://github.com/wawa0210)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Windows]

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89239](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89239), [@verult](...

  // NodeTaintsPolicy indicates how we will treat node taints when calculating
  // pod topology spread skew. Options are:
  // - Honor: nodes without taints, along with tainted nodes for which the incoming pod
  // has a toleration, are included.
  // - Ignore: node taints are ignored. All nodes are included.
  //
  // If this value is nil, the behavior is equivalent to the Ignore policy.

### Deprecation

    * or grant self-deletion permission explicitly:
        * `kubectl create clusterrole self-deleting-nodes --verb=delete --resource=nodes`
        * `kubectl create clusterrolebinding self-deleting-nodes --clusterrole=self-deleting-nodes --group=system:nodes`

- **[beta]** [Taints and tolerations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/). This feature allows you to specify rules for "repelling" pods from nodes by default, which enables use cases like dedicated nodes and reserving nodes with special features for pods that need those features. We've also added a `NoExecute` taint type that evicts already-running pods, and an associated `tolerationSeconds` field to tolerations to delay the eviction...

- TaintNodeByCondition has been moved to Beta and is enabled by default.
- Scheduler throughput has been improved by ~50% in large clusters (>2000 nodes).
