- Support [service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-pip-ip-tags] annotations to allow customers to specify ip-tags to influence public-ip creation in Azure [Tag1=Value1, Tag2=Value2, etc.] ([#94114](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94114), [@MarcPow](https://github.com/MarcPow)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* AWS Security Groups created for ELBs will now be tagged with the same additional tags as the ELB; that is, the tags specified by the "service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-additional-resource-tags" annotation. This is useful for identifying orphaned resources. ([#58767](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58767), [@2rs2ts](https://github.com/2rs2ts))

- Ignore the case when comparing azure tags in service annotation. ([#104705](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104705), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
- Ignore the case when updating Azure tags. ([#104593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104593), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

* The Azure cloud provider now supports specifying allowed service tags by the `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-allowed-service-tags` annotation. ([#61467](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61467), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- The `build-tag` flag is reintroduced to conversion-gen and defaulter-gen which allow users to inject custom build tag during code generation process. ([#128259](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128259), [@dinhxuanvu](https://github.com/dinhxuanvu))
