* Support multiple scale sets in Azure cloud provider. ([#57543](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57543), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

* Support LoadBalancer for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets ([#57131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57131), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

*   A new service annotation `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-dns-label-name` now sets the Azure DNS label for a public IP address. ([#47849](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47849),[ @tomerf](https://github.com/tomerf))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kube-apiserver: sets an upper-bound on the lifetime of idle keep-alive connections and time to read the headers of incoming requests ([#103958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103958), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

  * Authorization sets `authorization.k8s.io/decision` and `authorization.k8s.io/reason` annotations with the authorization decision ("allow" or "forbid") and a human-readable description of why the decision was made (for example, RBAC includes the name of the role/binding/subject which allowed a request).

### 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]

failure.
  * “kubectl rolling-update” only supports Replication Controllers (it doesn’t
support Replica Sets). It’s recommended to use Deployment 1.2 with “kubectl
rollout” commands instead, if you want to rolling update Replica Sets.
  * When live upgrading Kubelet to 1.2 without draining the pods running on the node,

- kubeadm now properly recognizes Docker 18.09.0 and newer, but still treats 18.06 as the default supported version.
- kubeadm now automatically sets the `--pod-infra-container-image` flag when starting the kubelet.

### SIG IBM Cloud

- Supporting Cross RG resources (disks, Azure File and node [Experimental]

Besides the above new features, support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and Cluster-Autoscaler is now stable and considered GA:

- Azure virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) allow you to create and manage identical load balanced VMs that automatically increase or decrease based on demand or a set schedule.

* Adds a new `kubeadm config` command that lets users tell `kubeadm upgrade` what kubeadm configuration to use and lets users view the current state. ([#50980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50980), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- Exposes and sets a default timeout for the SubjectAccessReview client for DelegatingAuthorizationOptions ([#96152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96152), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial)) [SIG API Machinery and Cloud Provider]
