- Fix Stackdriver integration based on node annotation container.googleapis.com/instance_id. ([#66676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66676), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
- GCE: Fixes loadbalancer creation and deletion issues appearing in 1.10.5. ([#66400](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66400), [@nicksardo](https://github.com/nicksardo))

  without risking breaking old clients, such as controllers.

- `kubectl delete` no longer scales down workload API objects before deletion.
  Users who depend on ordered termination for the Pods of their StatefulSets
  must use `kubectl scale` to scale down the StatefulSet before deletion.

- `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple environment

### Feature

- Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.20.13 ([#122712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122712), [@cpanato](https://github.com/cpanato)) [SIG Release and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Allow deletion of pods that use raw block volumes on node reboot ([#122211](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122211), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Node and Storage]

- Fixed a bug in the TopologyManager. Previously, the TopologyManager would only guarantee alignment if container creation was serialized in some way. Alignment is now guaranteed under all scenarios of container creation. ([#87759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87759), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node]

Prior to 1.17 and for existing nodes created by `kubeadm init` where kubelet client certificate rotation is desired, you must modify `/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf` to point to the PEM symlink for rotation:

*   Relative paths in the Kubelet's local config files (`--init-config-dir`) will now be resolved relative to the location of the containing files. ([#55648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55648),[ @mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

* When using client or server certificate rotation, the Kubelet will no longer wait until the initial rotation succeeds or fails before starting static pods.  This makes running self-hosted masters with rotation more predictable. ([#58930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58930), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- The `controller.kubernetes.io/pod-deletion-cost` annotation can be set to offer a hint on the cost of deleting a `Pod` compared to other pods belonging to the same ReplicaSet. Pods with lower deletion cost are deleted first. This is an alpha feature. ([#99163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99163), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

* When deleting an object with `--grace-period=0`, the client will begin a graceful deletion and wait until the resource is fully deleted.  To force deletion, use the `--force` flag.
