* kube-scheduler: restores default leader election behavior. leader-elect command line parameter should "true" ([#60524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60524), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
* Add support for adding/removing finalizer depending on PVC protection feature gate ([#61370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61370), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

### ConfigMap
* Volumes and environment variables populated from ConfigMap and Secret objects can now tolerate the named source object or specific keys being missing, by adding `optional: true` to the volume or environment variable source specifications. ([#39981](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39981), [@fraenkel](https://github.com/fraenkel))

* Improve Azure instance metadata handling by adding caches. ([#70353](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70353), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* adding cn-northwest-1 for AWS China Ningxia region ([#70155](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70155), [@pahud](https://github.com/pahud))

     * AutoCloseable}. For users of the {@code -android} flavor, the object must be a {@code
