* Fix panic in ControllerManager on GCE when it has a problem with creating external loadbalancer healthcheck ([#52646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52646), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))

- Fixed the following 
  -  AWS Cloud Provider attempts to delete LoadBalancer security group it didn’t provision

* Services of type=LoadBalancer which have no endpoints will now immediately ICMP reject connections, rather than time out. ([#74394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74394), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

  * **alpha**: NVIDIA GPU support ([#24836](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24836), [@therc](https://github.com/therc))
  * Adding loadBalancer services and nodeports services to quota system

## Known Issues and Important Steps before Upgrading

* Fix a scalability issue where high rates of event writes degraded etcd performance. ([#64539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64539), [@ccding](https://github.com/ccding))
* Properly manage security groups for loadbalancer services on OpenStack. ([#65373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65373), [@multi-io](https://github.com/multi-io))

* azure: add PrimaryAvailabilitySet to config, only use nodes in that set in the loadbalancer pool ([#34526](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34526), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))

* Bug fix. Incoming UDP packets not reach newly deployed services ([#32561](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32561), [@zreigz](https://github.com/zreigz))
* Services of type loadbalancer consume both loadbalancer and nodeport quota. ([#39364](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39364), [@zhouhaibing089](https://github.com/zhouhaibing089))

### StatefulSet

* Fix panic in ControllerManager on GCE when it has a problem with creating external loadbalancer healthcheck ([#52646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52646), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))

- Fixed a bug involving Services of type `LoadBalancer` with multiple IPs and a `LoadBalancerSourceRanges` that overlaps the node IP. ([#109826](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109826), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

## Changelog since v1.26.6

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- GCE does not support LoadBalancer Services with ports with different protocols (TCP and UDP) ([#115966](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115966), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps and Cloud Provider]
