* The kubelet's /spec endpoint no longer provides cloud provider information (cloud_provider, instance_type, instance_id).  ([#76291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76291), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

* Make logdump support kubemark and support gke with 'use_custom_instance_list' ([#51834](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51834), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))

- 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. ([#112914](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112914), [@PiotrProkop](https://github.com/PiotrProkop))

* Only use the first IP address got from instance metadata. This is because Azure CNI would set up a list of IP addresses in instance metadata, while only the first one is the Node's IP. ([#71736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71736), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

* Make logdump support kubemark and support gke with 'use_custom_instance_list' ([#51834](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51834), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))
