- Fix handling of aws-load-balancer-security-groups annotation. Security-Groups assigned with this annotation are no longer modified by kubernetes which is the expected behaviour of most users. Also no unnecessary Security-Groups are created anymore if this annotation is used. ([#88689](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88689), [@Elias481](https://github.com/Elias481)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* Kubelet will now set extended resource capacity to zero after it restarts. If the extended resource is exported by a device plugin, its capacity will change to a valid value after the device plugin re-connects with the Kubelet. If the extended resource is exported by an external component through direct node status capacity patching, the component should repatch the field after kubelet becomes ready again. During the time gap, pods...

- Fixing issue on Windows nodes where HostProcess containers may not be created as expected. ([#110965](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110965), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

  you want to set the equivalent of any of the `--iptables-xxx` options.)
  
  As this code is still very new, it has not been heavily optimized yet;
  while it is expected to _eventually_ have better performance than the
  iptables backend, very little performance testing has been done so far. ([#121046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121046), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

* fix the issue that default azure disk fsypte(ext4) does not work on Windows ([#62250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62250), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Fixes a bug where Services using finalizers may hold onto ClusterIP and/or NodePort allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource ([#120655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120655), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network and Testing]

- CPU limits are now respected for Windows containers. If a node is over-provisioned, no weighting is used, only limits are respected. ([#86101](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86101), [@PatrickLang](https://github.com/PatrickLang)) [SIG Node, Testing and Windows]

- CoreDNS adds readinessProbe which prevents loadbalancing to unready pods, and also allows rolling updates to work as expected. ([#74137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74137), [@rajansandeep](https://github.com/rajansandeep))
