  * Previously this would cause the command to fail regardless of whether or not the field was present in the object model
  * Now the command will succeed even if the sort-by field is missing from one or more of the objects

- Removed all support for _classic_ dynamic resource allocation (DRA). The `DRAControlPlaneController` feature gate, formerly alpha, is no longer available. Kubernetes now only uses the _structured parameters_ model (also alpha) for allocating dynamic resources to Pods.

- Fix VMSS LoadBalancer backend pools so that the network won't be broken when instances are upgraded to latest model ([#81411](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81411), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

- Fixing a bug that was preventing updates from 1.10 to 1.11

The external cloud provider was established and reached feature parity with in-tree, and we expect to stabilize it and have it as preferred deployment model by 1.13.
