- Fixes #115825. Kube-proxy will now include the `healthz` state in its response to the LB HC as to avoid indicating to the LB that it should use the node in question when Kube-proxy is not healthy. ([#111661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111661), [@alexanderConstantinescu](https://github.com/alexanderConstantinescu)) [SIG Network]

- Fixed 1.31 regression that can crash kube-controller-manager's service-lb-controller loop. ([#128182](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128182), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Network]

### Bug or Regression

- Fix: skip instance not found when decoupling vmss from lb ([#105835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105835), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

    * If excludeMasterFromStandardLB is not set, it will be default to true, which means master nodes are excluded to the backend of standard LB.
    * Also note standard load balancer doesn't work with annotation `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mode`. This is because all nodes (except master) are added as the LB backends.

- Ensure health probes are created for local traffic policy UDP services on Azure ([#84802](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84802), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
- Openstack: Do not delete managed LB in case of security group reconciliation errors ([#82264](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82264), [@multi-io](https://github.com/multi-io))

* BulkVerifyVolumes() implementation for vSphere ([#52131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52131), [@BaluDontu](https://github.com/BaluDontu))
* Added option lb-provider to OpenStack cloud provider config ([#54176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54176), [@gonzolino](https://github.com/gonzolino))



# v1.8.2

* Promote validation for custom resources defined through CRD to beta ([#54647](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54647), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))
* Octavia v2 now supported as a LB provider ([#55393](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55393), [@jamiehannaford](https://github.com/jamiehannaford))
