### SIG Network

The main milestones for SIG Network this release are the graduation of IPVS-based load balancing and CoreDNS to general availability.

IPVS is an alternative approach to in-cluster load balancing that uses in-kernel hash tables rather than the previous iptables approach, while CoreDNS is a replacement for kube-dns for service discovery.

- Sysctls graduates to General Availability and thus unconditionally enabled. ([#99158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99158), [@wgahnagl](https://github.com/wgahnagl))
