- Kubeadm: IPv6DualStack feature gate graduates to Beta and enabled by default ([#99294](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99294), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

Since 1.21, Kubernetes clusters are enabled to support dual-stack networking by default.
In 1.23, the `IPv6DualStack` feature gate is removed.
The use of dual-stack networking is not mandatory.
Although clusters are enabled to support dual-stack networking, Pods and Services continue to default to single-stack.

  handle it for them.  Services are single-stack unless the user asks for
  dual-stack.  This is all gated by the "IPv6DualStack" feature gate. ([#91824](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91824), [@khenidak](https://github.com/khenidak)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Network, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

## Urgent Upgrade Notes 

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- 'The `IPv6DualStack` feature gate for external cloud providers was removed.
  (The feature became GA in 1.23 and the gate was removed for all other
  components several releases ago.) If you were still manually

* kubeadm: fix stray "node-cidr-mask-size" flag in the kube-controller-manager manifest when IPv6DualStack is enabled ([#85494](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85494), [@tedyu](https://github.com/tedyu))

- Fixed the EndpointSliceController to correctly create endpoints for IPv6-only pods.
  
  Fixed the EndpointController to allow IPv6 headless services, if the IPv6DualStack
  feature gate is enabled, by specifying `ipFamily: IPv6` on the service. (This already

- Feature gates that graduated to GA in 1.23 or earlier and were unconditionally enabled have been removed: CSIServiceAccountToken, ConfigurableFSGroupPolicy, EndpointSlice, EndpointSliceNodeName, EndpointSliceProxying, GenericEphemeralVolume, IPv6DualStack, IngressClassNamespacedParams, StorageObjectInUseProtection, TTLAfterFinished, VolumeSubpath, WindowsEndpointSliceProxying.
