- Windows Kubeproxy will use the update load balancer API for load balancer updates, instead of the previous delete and create APIs.

- 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.

  - [alpha] Creating a `Federated Ingress` is as simple as submitting
    an `Ingress` creation request to the Federation API Server. The
    Federation control system then creates and maintains a single
    global virtual IP to load balance incoming HTTP(S) traffic across
    some or all the registered clusters, across all regions. Google's
    GCE L7 LoadBalancer is the first supported implementation, and
	is available in this release.

- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases.

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.23.0 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.
