- 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.

- Fixed a panic in `kubectl exec` when the terminal size queue delegate is uninitialized. ([#135918](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135918), [@MarcosDaNight](https://github.com/MarcosDaNight)) [SIG CLI]

    * 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))

  using `EndpointSlices` instead. ([#130564](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130564), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Apps and Network]
- Errors returned by apiserver from uninitialized cache will include last error from etcd ([#130899](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130899), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- Fixed incorrect watch events when a watch is initialized simultanously with a reinitializing watchcache. ([#116436](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116436), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- 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 panic in `kubectl exec` when the terminal size queue delegate is uninitialized. ([#136280](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/136280), [@seekskyworld](https://github.com/seekskyworld)) [SIG CLI]

- 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))
