*   Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
*   Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.

This work enables Kubernetes to take full advantage of the relevant services as exposed by OpenStack clouds. Refer to the [Cloud Providers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/cloud-providers/#openstack) documentation for more information.

### Storage

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to Beta. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings by default, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`).

  - **apiserver_flowcontrol_watch_count_samples**: histograms of number of watches relevant to a given mutating request, broken down by that request's priority_level and flow_schema.

* flexvolume: trigger plugin init only for the relevant plugin while probe ([#58519](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58519), [@linyouchong](https://github.com/linyouchong))

   The `read_vs_write_current_requests` metric histogram is adjusted, in the case of using API Priority and Fairness instead of max-in-flight, to divide by the relevant limit: sum of queue capacities for waiting requests, sum of seat limits for executing requests.

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to GA. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`).

## Changelog since v1.18.0-alpha.2

### Deprecation

- Remove all the generators from kubectl run. It will now only create pods. Additionally, deprecates all the flags that are not relevant anymore. ([#87077](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87077), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Architecture, SIG CLI, and SIG Testing]

    - When upgrading from previous releases, issues will arise with public IPs if multiple clusters share the same resource group. To solve these problems, make the following changes to the cluster:
Recreate the relevant LoadBalancer services, or add a new tag 'kubernetes-cluster-name: <cluster-name>' manually for existing public IPs.
