- A value of `Auto` is now a valid for the `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation. ([#100728](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100728), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

* The kubelet's `--cloud-provider=auto-detect` feature has been removed; make certain to specify the cloud provider. ([#56287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56287), [@stewart-yu](https://github.com/stewart-yu))

## Dependencies

### Added

* Respect fstype in Windows for azure disk ([#61267](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61267), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Unready pods will no longer impact the number of desired replicas when using horizontal auto-scaling with external metrics or object metrics. ([#60886](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60886), [@mattjmcnaughton](https://github.com/mattjmcnaughton))

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to GA. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`). ([#117591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117591), [...

### Failing Test

- Fixes the `should receive events on concurrent watches in same order` conformance test to work properly on clusters that auto-create additional configmaps in namespaces ([#101950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101950), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

* client-go: shortens refresh period for token files to 1 minute to ensure auto-rotated projected service account tokens are read frequently enough. ([#72437](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72437), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
