- For GCE cluster provider, fix bug of not being able to create internal type load balancer for clusters with more than 1000 nodes in a single zone. ([#89902](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89902), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Network and Scalability]

* Add perma-failed deployments API ([#19343](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/19343), [@kargakis](https://github.com/kargakis))

### Other notable changes

* Federation: allow specification of dns zone by ID ([#36336](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36336), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))

- Because of the implementation logic of `time.Format` in golang, the displayed time zone is not consistent. ([#102366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102366), [@cndoit18](https://github.com/cndoit18))

- Graduated the `PodTopologyLabelsAdmission` feature gate to Beta and enabled it by default.
  Pods now receive `topology.kubernetes.io/zone` and `topology.kubernetes.io/region` labels automatically when their assigned Node has these labels. ([#135158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135158), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Fixes spammy incorrect "Ignoring same-zone topology hints for service since no hints were provided for zone" messages in the kube-proxy logs. ([#133527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133527), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

credentials for vCenter stored in a secret and Zones feature is in use. Zone labels setup moved to KCM component, kubelet skips this step during startup in such case. If credentials stored in cloud-provider config file as plaintext current behaviour does not change and no action required. For proper functioning `kube-system:vsphere-legacy-cloud-provider` should be allowed to update node object if vCenter credentials stored in secret and Zone feature used. ([#101028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101028),...

- Reminder: The labels "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" are deprecated in favor of "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region" respectively.  All users of the "failure-domain.beta..." labels should switch to the "topology..." equivalents. ([#96033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96033),...

### Bug or Regression

- Fix Topology Aware Hints not working when the `topology.kubernetes.io/zone` label is added after Node creation

##### Cluster Autoscaler

* Cluster autoscaler is now GA
* Cluster support size is increased to 1000 nodes
* Respect graceful pod termination of up to 10 minutes
* Handle zone stock-outs and failures
* Improve monitoring and error reporting
