- Adds feature gate `NodeLogQuery` which provides cluster administrators with a streaming view of logs using kubectl without them having to implement a client side reader or logging into the node. ([#96120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96120), [@LorbusChris](https://github.com/LorbusChris))

  `sync_partial_proxy_rules_duration_seconds` (in addition to the existing\n`sync_proxy_rules_duration_seconds`),
  giving better information about the duration of each \nsync type, rather than
  only giving a weighted average of the two sync types together. ([#117787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117787), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- Add limited lines to log when having tail option ([#93920](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93920), [@zhouya0](https://github.com/zhouya0)) [SIG Node]

* `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple env vars, use the `--env` flag multiple times instead of having env vars separated by commas. E.g. `--env ONE=1 --env TWO=2` instead of `--env ONE=1,TWO=2`. ([#47460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47460), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))

graduated the `UnversionedKubeletConfigMap` feature gate to Beta and enabled the feature by default. This implies that 1) for new clusters kubeadm will start using the `kube-system/kubelet-config` naming scheme for the kubelet ConfigMap and RBAC rules, instead of the legacy `kubelet-config-x.yy` naming. 2) during upgrade, kubeadm will only write the new scheme ConfigMap and RBAC objects. To disable the feature you can pass `UnversionedKubeletConfigMap: false` in the kubeadm config for new clusters....

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.22.4 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes. In particular, nodes that are not in the ready state and are not newly created (i.e. not having the `node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized` taint) now get removed from Azure load balancers. ([#109933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109933), [@ricky-rav](https://github.com/ricky-rav)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.23.0 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes. In particular, nodes that are not in the ready state and are not newly created (i.e. not having the `node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized` taint) now get removed from Azure load balancers. ([#109932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109932), [@ricky-rav](https://github.com/ricky-rav)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

feature gate `UnversionedKubeletConfigMap` to GA and locked it to `true` by default. The kubelet related ConfigMap and RBAC rules are now locked to have a simplified naming `*kubelet-config` instead of the legacy naming `*kubelet-config-x.yy`, where `x.yy` was the version of the control plane. If you have previously used the old naming format with `UnversionedKubeletConfigMap=false`, you must manually copy the config map from `kube-system/kubelet-config-x.yy` to `kube-system/kubelet-config` before...

- Fixed a bug where `kubectl` drain would consider a pod as having been deleted if an error occurs while calling the API. ([#122574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122574), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley))
