- Delete deprecated `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mixed-protocols` mixed procotol annotation in favor of the MixedProtocolLBService feature ([#97096](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97096), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- GCE does not support LoadBalancer Services with ports with different protocols (TCP and UDP) ([#115966](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115966), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps and Cloud Provider]

### API Change

- A CDIDevice field is included in the Device Plugin's `ContainerAllocateResponse`. This field maps to the CDIDevice field in the CRI protocol. ([#118254](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118254), [@elezar](https://github.com/elezar)) [SIG Node and Testing]

* AWS: Avoid spurious ELB listener recreation - ignore case when matching protocol ([#47391](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47391), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))

- This code change fixes the bug that UDP services would trigger unnecessary LoadBalancer updates. The root cause is that a field not working for non-TCP protocols is considered.
