### SIG Azure

* The Azure cloud provider now supports standard SKU load balancer and public IP.
`excludeMasterFromStandardLB` defaults to true, which means master nodes are excluded from the standard load balancer. Also note that because all nodes (except master) are added as loadbalancer backends, the standard load balancer doesn't work with the `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mode` annotation.

  CVE-2021-29923 golang standard library "net" - Improper Input Validation of octal literals in golang 1.16.2 and below standard library "net" results in indeterminate SSRF & RFI vulnerabilities.

### CSI Volume Snapshot graduates to General Availability

CSI Volume Snapshot moves to GA in the 1.20 release. This feature provides a standard way to trigger volume snapshot operations in Kubernetes and allows Kubernetes users to incorporate snapshot operations in a portable manner on any Kubernetes environment regardless of supporting underlying storage providers.

- Remove `kubernetes.io/grpc` standard appProtocol ([#116866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116866), [@LiorLieberman](https://github.com/LiorLieberman)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

### Cloud Provider

- When a load balancer type service is created in a k8s cluster that is backed by Azure Standard Load Balancer, the corresponding load balancer rule added in the Azure Standard Load Balancer would now have the "EnableTcpReset" property set to true. ([#80624](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80624), [@xuto2](https://github.com/xuto2))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- In GKE alpha clusters it will be possible to use the service annotation `cloud.google.com/network-tier: Standard` ([#88487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88487), [@zioproto](https://github.com/zioproto)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.
