- The cloud config for Azure cloud provider can now be initialized from Kubernetes secret azure-cloud-provider in kube-system namespace
    - the secret is a serialized version of `azure.json` file with key cloud-config. And the secret name is azure-cloud-provider.

- 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]

* etcd3: pass SelectionPredicate instead of Filter to storage layer ([#31190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31190), [@hongchaodeng](https://github.com/hongchaodeng))
* etcd3: make gets for previous value in watch serialize-able ([#34089](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34089), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Fixed a data race that could occur when a single Go type was serialized to CBOR concurrently for the first time within a program. ([#129170](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129170), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy)) [SIG API Machinery]

* if kube-apiserver is started with `--storage-backend=etcd2`, the media type `application/json` is used. ([#43122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43122), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* API fields that previously serialized null arrays as `null` and empty arrays as `[]` no longer distinguish between those values and always output `[]` when serializing to JSON. ([#43422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43422), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
