      // The InetSocketAddress was specified with a string (either a numeric IP or a host name). If

- Add --permit-address-sharing flag to `kube-apiserver` to listen with `SO_REUSEADDR`. While allowing to listen on wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, it avoids waiting for the kernel to release socket in `TIME_WAIT` state, and hence, considerably reducing `kube-apiserver` restart times under certain conditions. ([#93861](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93861),...

- The `CloudDualStackNodeIPs` feature is now `beta`, meaning that when using
  an external cloud provider that has been updated to support the feature,
  you can pass comma-separated dual-stack `--node-ips` to `kubelet` and have
  the cloud provider take both IPs into account. ([#120275](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120275), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

    - When upgrading from previous releases, issues will arise with public IPs if multiple clusters share the same resource group. To solve these problems, make the following changes to the cluster:
Recreate the relevant LoadBalancer services, or add a new tag 'kubernetes-cluster-name: <cluster-name>' manually for existing public IPs.

- Kube-proxy, when using a Service with External or LoadBalancer IPs on UDP services , was consuming a large amount of CPU because it was not filtering by the Service destination port and trying to delete all the UDP entries associated to the service.

  * GCE installs will now avoid IP masquerade for all RFC-1918 IP blocks, rather than just 10.0.0.0/8. This means that clusters can be created in 192.168.0.0./16 and 172.16.0.0/12 while preserving the container IPs (which would be lost before). ([#46473](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46473), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

* Added DNS Reverse Record logic for service IPs ([#26226](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26226), [@ArtfulCoder](https://github.com/ArtfulCoder))

- Kubelet should now more reliably report the same primary node IP even if the set of node IPs reported by the CloudProvider changes. ([#79391](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79391), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

* kubenet: SyncHostports for both running and ready to run pods. ([#31388](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31388), [@yifan-gu](https://github.com/yifan-gu))
* GC pod ips ([#35572](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35572), [@bprashanth](https://github.com/bprashanth))

- Added the latest GCE pinhole firewall feature, which introduces `destination-ranges` in the ingress `firewall-rules`. It restricts access to the backend IPs by allowing traffic through `ILB` or `NetLB` only. This change does **NOT** change the existing `ILB` or `NetLB` behavior.
