### Azure

- Kubernetes now supports specifying the Resource Group of the Route Table when updating the Pod network route on Azure. ([#75580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75580), [@suker200](https://github.com/suker200))

- Update the frontend IP config when the service's `pipName` annotation is changed ([#95813](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95813), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Update the route table tag in the route reconcile loop ([#96545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96545), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* To allow the userspace proxy to work correctly on multi-interface hosts when using the non-default-route interface, you may now set the `bindAddress` configuration option to an IP address assigned to a network interface.  The proxy will use that IP address for any required NAT operations instead of the IP address of the interface which has the default route. ([#48613](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48613), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))

- Fix route conflicted operations when updating multiple routes together ([#88209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88209), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- When the `PreferSameTrafficDistribution` feature gate is enabled, a new `trafficDistribution` value `PreferSameNode` is available, which attempts to always route Service connections to an endpoint on the same node as the client. Additionally, `PreferSameZone` is introduced as an alias for `PreferClose`. ([#130844](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130844), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))...

- Removed legacy cloud provider integration code and the "service-lb-controller", "cloud-node-lifecycle-controller" and the "node-route-controller" from kube-controller-manager. You can now either set the `--cloud-provider` command line argument to "external", or to the empty string. All other values are invalid.
