- The cloud config for Azure cloud provider can now be initialized from Kubernetes secret azure-cloud-provider in kube-system namespace
    - the secret is a serialized version of `azure.json` file with key cloud-config. And the secret name is azure-cloud-provider.

    * This more closely aligns rest client as a generic RESTful client, while preserving the special Kube API extended error handling for the `Get` and `Into` methods (which most Kube clients use).
* Making the pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/initialized annotation optional in PetSet pods ([#35739](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35739), [@foxish](https://github.com/foxish))

- If Openstack LoadBalancer is not defined in cloud config, the loadbalancer will no longer beis not initialized. any more in openstack. All setups must have some setting under that section for the OpenStack provider. ([#65781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65781), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

- Fixed a bug that init containers with `Always` restartPolicy may not terminate gracefully if the pod hasn't initialized yet. ([#125935](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125935), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]
- Fixed a bug where `kubectl describe` incorrectly displayed NetworkPolicy port ranges

* If CSINodeInfo and CSIMigration feature flags are active in the cluster, Kubelet will post NotReady until CSINode is initialized with basic volume plugin mechanism information for well-known drivers ([#74835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74835), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

- For scheduler plugin developers: the scheduler framework's shared PodInformer is now initialized with empty indexers. This enables scheduler plugins to add their extra indexers. Note that only non-conflict indexers are allowed to be added. ([#110663](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110663), [@fromanirh](https://github.com/fromanirh))...

- E2e: tests can now register callbacks with `ginkgo.BeforeEach`, `ginkgo.AfterEach` or `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` directly after creating a framework instance and are guaranteed that their code is called after the framework is initialized and before it gets cleaned up. `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` replaces `f.AddAfterEach` and `AddCleanupAction` which got removed to simplify the framework. ([#111998](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111998), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))...

- Fixed bug where a nonzero exit code was returned when initializing zsh completion even though zsh completion was successfully initialized ([#88165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88165), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]

* Skip podpreset test if the alpha feature settings/v1alpha1 is disabled ([#53080](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53080), [@jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))
* Log when node is successfully initialized by Cloud Controller Manager ([#53517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53517), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))
