- Newly provisioned PVs by gce-pd will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. gce-pd volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead. ([#98700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98700),...

- Added validation to ensure that if `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` and `service.kubernetes.io/topology-mode` annotations are both set, they are set to the same value.Also Added deprecation warning if `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation is used.

    * regions ("failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region") in favor of their GA equivalents:
    * "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region".
    * The beta labels "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" will be removed in v1.21

- Topology Aware Hints now ignores unready endpoints when assigning hints. ([#106510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106510), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

- Automatically copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access this information via the downward API, rather than requiring permission to `get node` objects (exposing the...

- The calculations for Pod topology spread skew now exclude nodes that
  don't match the node affinity/selector. This may lead to unschedulable pods if you previously had pods
  matching the spreading selector on those excluded nodes (not matching the node affinity/selector),
  especially when the `topologyKey` is not node-level. Revisit the node affinity and/or pod selector in the

 - Newly provisioned PVs by Azure disk will no longer have the beta `FailureDomain` label. Azure disk volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead. ([#101534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101534), [@kassarl](https://github.com/kassarl))
