the declared constants remain untyped and the constant identifiers
denote the constant values. For instance, if the expression is a
floating-point literal, the constant identifier denotes a floating-point
constant, even if the literal's fractional part is zero.

### API Change

- We have added a new Priority & Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent 
  restarting of "healthy" kube-apiserver instance(s) by kubelet. ([#101114](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101114), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Bug or Regression

* Only use the first IP address got from instance metadata. This is because Azure CNI would set up a list of IP addresses in instance metadata, while only the first one is the Node's IP. ([#71736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71736), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

* GCE: Fix for internal load balancer management resulting in backend services with outdated instance group links. ([#62887](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62887), [@nicksardo](https://github.com/nicksardo))
