- Add `container_state` label to `running_container_count` kubelet metrics, to get count of containers based on their state(running/exited/created/unknown) ([#81573](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81573), [@irajdeep](https://github.com/irajdeep))

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.23.0 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes. In particular, nodes that are not in the ready state and are not newly created (i.e. not having the `node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized` taint) now get removed from Azure load balancers. ([#109932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109932),...

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.22.4 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes. In particular, nodes that are not in the ready state and are not newly created (i.e. not having the `node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized` taint) now get removed from Azure load balancers.

if their volume source is of CSI type or they have a migrated annotation, when they are deleted, the PersistentVolume controller won't change their phase to the Failed state. With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in the next reconcile loop. Unfortunately, if a previously existing PV has the Failed state, this patch won't take effect. Users are required to remove the finalizer manually. ([#122030](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122030), [@carlory](https:...

### Azure

- Kubernetes now supports specifying the Resource Group of the Route Table when updating the Pod network route on Azure. ([#75580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75580), [@suker200](https://github.com/suker200))

- Fixed the bug where kubelet couldn't output logs after log file rotated when `kubectl logs POD_NAME -f` is running. ([#115702](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115702), [@xyz-li](https://github.com/xyz-li))

- Apiserver `/healthz/etcd` endpoint rate limits the number of forwarded health check requests to the etcd backends, answering with the last known state if the rate limit is exceeded. The rate limit is based on 1/2 of the timeout configured, with no burst allowed. ([#112046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112046), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))...
