- Upgrades `IPv6Dualstack` to `Beta` and turns it on by default. New clusters or existing clusters are not be affected until an actor starts adding secondary Pods and service CIDRS CLI flags as described here: [IPv4/IPv6 Dual-stack](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-network/563-dual-stack) ([#98969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98969), [@khenidak](https://github.com/khenidak))

- Node `ipam` controller now exposes metrics `cidrset_cidrs_max_total` and `multicidrset_cidrs_max_total` with information about the max number of CIDRs that can be allocated. ([#112260](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112260), [@aryan9600](https://github.com/aryan9600))

- Use NLB Subnet CIDRs instead of VPC CIDRs in Health Check SG Rules ([#93515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93515), [@t0rr3sp3dr0](https://github.com/t0rr3sp3dr0)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Use NLB Subnet CIDRs instead of VPC CIDRs in Health Check SG Rules ([#93515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93515), [@t0rr3sp3dr0](https://github.com/t0rr3sp3dr0)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Added alpha-level support for the SuccessPolicy in Jobs.
   ([#123412](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123412), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y))
- Added the `CEL` library for IP Addresses and CIDRs. This was made available for use starting from version `1.31`.

- Use NLB Subnet CIDRs instead of VPC CIDRs in Health Check SG Rules ([#93515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93515), [@t0rr3sp3dr0](https://github.com/t0rr3sp3dr0)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

    * --application_metrics_count_limit
    * --boot_id_file
    * --container_hints

* You can now use `--ipvs-exclude-cidrs` to specify a list of CIDR's which the IPVS proxier should not touch when cleaning up IPVS rules. ([#62083](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62083), [@rramkumar1](https://github.com/rramkumar1))

### Cloud Provider

- The GCE-only flag `cloud-provider-gce-lb-src-cidrs` is now optional for external cloud providers. ([#76627](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76627), [@timoreimann](https://github.com/timoreimann))

- The `apiserver` exposes 4 new metrics that allow to track the status of the Service CIDRs allocations:
      - current number of available IPs per Service CIDR
      - current number of used IPs per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation per Service CIDR
