### Bug or Regression

- A node IP provided to kublet via `--node-ip` will now be preferred for when determining the node's primary IP and using the external cloud provider (CCM). ([#107750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107750), [@stephenfin](https://github.com/stephenfin))

* The apiserver can now select which type of kubelet-reported address to use for apiserver->node communications, using the --kubelet-preferred-address-types flag. ([#35497](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35497), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- The `PersistentVolumeLabel` admission controller in the API server is deprecated.

  - The replacement is running a cloud-specific controller-manager (often referred to as `cloud-controller-manager`) with the `PersistentVolumeLabel` controller enabled. This new controller loop operates as the `PersistentVolumeLabel` admission controller did in previous versions.

// Implementation of the counterCrypt function in assembler. // Original loop is unrolled to allow for multiple encryption // streams to be done in parallel, which is achieved by interleaving // vcipher instructions from each stream. This is also referred to as // stitching, and provides significant performance improvements. // Some macros are defined which enable execution for big or little // endian as well as different ISA targets. //func (g *gcmAsm) counterCrypt(out, in []byte, counter *[gcmBlockSize]byte,...

- The Image Locality priority function of the scheduler has been improved and is now enabled by default. With this feature enabled, nodes that have all or a partial set of images required for running a pod are preferred over other nodes, which improves pod start-up time.
- TaintNodeByCondition has been moved to Beta and is enabled by default.
- Scheduler throughput has been improved by ~50% in large clusters (>2000 nodes).
