* [GCP kube-up.sh] Variables that were part of kube-env that were only used for kubelet flags are no longer being set, and are being replaced by the more portable mechanism of the kubelet configuration file.

- Deprecate the `topologyKeys` field in Service. This capability will be replaced with upcoming work around Topology Aware Subsetting and Service Internal Traffic Policy. ([#96736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96736), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG Apps]

- Deprecate `--record` flag in `kubectl`. The `--record` flag is being replaced with the [mechanism](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-cli/859-kubectl-headers) which annotates HTTP requests with kubectl command details.

- `kubectl apply --server-dry-run` is deprecated and replaced with --dry-run=server ([#87580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87580), [@julianvmodesto](https://github.com/julianvmodesto)) [SIG CLI]

#### add-ons:

- Some apiserver metrics were changed, as follows.
  - `priority_level_seat_count_samples` is replaced with `priority_level_seat_utilization`, which samples every nanosecond rather than every millisecond; the old metric conveyed utilization despite its name.
  - `priority_level_seat_count_watermarks` is removed.
