- Fix: use force detach for azure disk ([#91948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91948), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fixes a problem with 63-second or 1-second connection delays with some VXLAN-based
  network plugins which was first widely noticed in 1.16 (though some users saw it
  earlier than that, possibly only with specific network plugins). If you were previously

### Misc

### Bug or Regression

- Fix bug that prevents the alpha feature PodTopologyLabelAdmission to not work due to checking for the incorrect label key when copying topology labels. This bug delays the graduation of the feature to beta by an additional release to allow time for meaningful feedback.

* Add support for finalizers in federated configmaps (deletes configmaps from underlying clusters). ([#40464](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40464), [@csbell](https://github.com/csbell))

- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.

- Fix computing backoff delay when using Job pod failure policy, by including in the backoff delay calculation pod failures ignored from the backoffLimit counter.
  
  Also, compute the backoff delay more accurately for deleted pods. ([#119466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119466), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]
