- Added kubelet support for systemd watchdog integration. With this enabled, systemd can automatically recover a hung kubelet. ([#127566](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127566), [@zhifei92](https://github.com/zhifei92)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Node and Testing]

- Graduated the `PodTopologyLabelsAdmission` feature gate to Beta and enabled it by default.
  Pods now receive `topology.kubernetes.io/zone` and `topology.kubernetes.io/region` labels automatically when their assigned Node has these labels. ([#135158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135158), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

the pool of Service IP addresses thereby reducing the risk of collision.

A Service `ClusterIP` can be assigned:

* dynamically, which means the cluster will automatically pick a free IP within the configured Service IP range.
* statically, which means the user will set one IP within the configured Service IP range.

- When using `kubectl replace` (or the equivalent API call) on a Service, the caller no longer needs to do a read-modify-write cycle to fetch the allocated values for `.spec.clusterIP` and `.spec.ports[].nodePort`.  Instead the API server will automatically carry these forward from the original object when the new object does not specify them.

* Kubernetes now supports transparent compression of API responses. Clients that send `Accept-Encoding: gzip` will now receive a GZIP compressed response body if the API call was larger than 128KB.  Go clients automatically request gzip-encoding by default and should see reduced transfer times for very large API requests.  Clients in other languages may need to make changes to benefit from compression. ([#77449](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77449),...
