- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.22.4 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes. In particular, nodes that are not in the ready state and are not newly created (i.e. not having the `node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized` taint) now get removed from Azure load balancers.

*   `tf.data`:

    *   Added support for alternative checkpointing protocol which makes it possible to checkpoint the state of the input pipeline without having to store the contents of internal buffers. The new functionality can be enabled through the `experimental_symbolic_checkpoint` option of `tf.data.Options()`.

administrators of Kubernetes may want to control that new Service CIDRs added to the cluster do not overlap with other networks on the cluster, that only belong to a specific range of IPs. Administrators may also prefer to retain the existing behavior of only having one ServiceCIDR per cluster. You can use `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` to achieve this.

  For developers of out-of-tree PostFilter plugins, note that the semantics of NodeToStatusMap are changing: A node with an absent value in the NodeToStatusMap should be interpreted as having an UnschedulableAndUnresolvable status.

- Fixed an issue where requests sent by the KMSv2 service would be rejected due to having an invalid authority header. ([#126930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126930), [@Ruddickmg](https://github.com/Ruddickmg)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

- kubeadm: use etcd's /health endpoint for a HTTP liveness probe on localhost instead of having a custom health check using etcdctl ([#81385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81385), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.23.0 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes.
