The external provider includes all of the above with the additional fixes and features:
- Fix bug to prevent allocation of existing floating IP.
- Fix Cinder authentication bug when OS_DOMAIN_NAME not specified.
- Fix Keystone authentication errors by skipping synchronization for unscoped tokens.
- Fix authentication error for client-auth-plugin

* Deprecate the beta labels for zones ("failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone") and  ([#81431](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81431), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))
    * regions ("failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region") in favor of their GA equivalents:
    * "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region".

### Scheduling

  - Opaque Integer Resources (OIRs) are deprecated and will be removed in
    version 1.9. Extended Resources (ERs) are a drop-in replacement for OIRs. You can use
    any domain name prefix outside of the `kubernetes.io/` domain instead of the
    `pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/opaque-int-resource-` prefix.

## Notable Features

### Workloads API (apps/v1beta2)

 - Newly provisioned PVs by EBS plugin will no longer use the deprecated "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" labels. It will use "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region" labels instead. ([#99130](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99130), [@ayberk](https://github.com/ayberk))...

- Profiling can now be served on a unix-domain socket by using the `--profiling-path` option (when profiling is enabled) for security purposes. ([#114191](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114191), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG API Machinery]

/kube-dns/{skydns-rc.yaml.base,skydns-rc.yaml.in}`, either substitute one of `__PILLAR__FEDERATIONS__DOMAIN__MAP__` or `{{ pillar['federations_domain_map'] }}` with the corresponding federation name to domain name value or remove them if you do not support cluster federation at this time. If you plan to substitute the parameter with its value, here is an example for `{{ pillar['federations_domain_map'] }}` ([#28132](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28132), [@madhusudancs](https://gi...
