- Fixed a 1.28 regression around restarting init containers in the right order relative to normal containers ([#120440](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120440), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Fixes a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in 1.27 and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122815](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122815), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly)) [SIG Network]

- Scheduler now skips the `NodeAffinity Score` plugin when it has nothing to do with a Pod. You might have noticed an increase in the metric `plugin_execution_duration_seconds` for `extension_point=score` and `plugin=NodeAffinity`, because the plugin only runs when it's relevant.

- Kubectl: fixed a bug where `kubectl convert` did not pick the right API version ([#112700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112700), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- Kubelet now cleans up the Node's cloud node IP annotation correctly if you
