## Changelog since v1.27.13

## Changes by Kind

### Bug or Regression

- Fixed PersistentolumeLabel providing wrong topology labels to Azure Disk PersistentVolumes when the external Azure cloud provider is used. ([#124528](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124528), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.24.0 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.
