- Fixed a regression in kube-proxy where it might refuse to start if given
  single-stack IPv6 configuration options on a node that has both IPv4 and
  IPv6 IPs. ([#121008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121008), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

- Added a `--topology-manager-policy-options` flag to the kubelet to support fine tuning the topology manager policies. The first policy option, `prefer-closest-numa-nodes`, allows these policies to favor sets of NUMA nodes with shorter distance between nodes when making admission decisions....
