- GCE Internal LoadBalancer sync loop will now release the ILB IP address upon sync failure. An error in ILB forwarding rule creation will no longer leak IP addresses.

- `kube-proxy` in iptables mode will now have separate `sync_full_proxy_rules_duration_seconds`\nand
  `sync_partial_proxy_rules_duration_seconds` (in addition to the existing\n`sync_proxy_rules_duration_seconds`),
  giving better information about the duration of each \nsync type, rather than

### Other notable changes

* gce: fixes race condition in ServiceController, where nodes weren't updated in the node sync loop, by updating TargetPools in the ensureExternalLoadBalancer call. ([#58368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58368), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))

- In "large" clusters, kube-proxy in iptables mode will now sometimes
  leave unused rules in iptables for a while (up to `--iptables-sync-period`)
  before deleting them. This improves performance by not requiring it to
  check for stale rules on every sync. (In smaller clusters, it will still
  remove unused rules immediately once they are no longer used.)
