* Add `metrics-port` to kube-proxy cmd flags. ([#72682](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72682), [@whypro](https://github.com/whypro))
* Adds deleting pods created by DaemonSet assigned to not existing nodes. ([#73401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73401), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

- Kube-proxy, will restart in case it detects that the Node assigned pod.Spec.PodCIDRs have changed ([#113247](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113247), [@code-elinka](https://github.com/code-elinka)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Network and Storage]

- HostNetwork pods no longer depend on the PodIPs to be assigned to configure the defined hostAliases on the Pod ([#126460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126460), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network, Node and Testing]

  It changes the dual-stack API wrt Service from a single ipFamily field to 3
  fields: ipFamilyPolicy (SingleStack, PreferDualStack, RequireDualStack),
  ipFamilies (a list of families assigned), and clusterIPs (inclusive of
  clusterIP).  Most users do not need to set anything at all, defaulting will
  handle it for them.  Services are single-stack unless the user asks for

*   A new priority function ResourceLimitsPriorityMap (disabled by default and behind alpha feature gate and not part of the scheduler's default priority functions list) that assigns a lowest possible score of 1 to a node that satisfies one or both of input pod's cpu and memory limits, mainly to break ties between nodes with same scores.
