### Avoiding permanent beta

From Kubernetes 1.20 onwards, SIG Architecture will implement a new policy to transition all REST APIs out of beta within nine months. The idea behind the new policy is to avoid features staying in beta for a long time. Once a new API enters beta, it will have nine months to either:

 - reach GA, and deprecate the beta, or
 - have a new beta version _(and deprecate the previous beta)_.

  - Deprecate the default service IP CIDR. The previous default was `10.0.0.0/24` which will be removed in 6 months/2 releases. Cluster admins must specify their own desired value, by using `--service-cluster-ip-range` on kube-apiserver.

*   Fixed a controller manager crash issue on a manually created k8s cluster. ([#53694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53694),[ @andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
*   Azure-based clusters now support unlimited mount points. ([#54668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54668)) ([#53629](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53629),[ @andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

### Promoted endPort in Network Policy to Stable

Promoted `endPort` in [Network Policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/#targeting-a-range-of-ports) to GA. Network Policy providers that support `endPort` field now can use it to specify a range of ports to apply a Network Policy. Previously, each Network Policy could only target a single port.

- kube- and cloud-controller-manager can now listen on ports up to 65535 rather than 32768, solving problems with operating systems that request these higher ports.. ([#65860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65860), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
