### Cloud Controller Manager now exclusively shipped by Cloud Provider

- Kube-proxy iptables: new metric sync_proxy_rules_iptables_total that exposes the number of rules programmed per table in each iteration ([#99653](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99653), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Instrumentation and Network]

- Introduced new apiserver metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats`. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests`, but tracks the total number of seats, as each request can take more than one seat. ([#119385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119385), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

### Serverside Apply - Beta 2

* Fixes an issue with RBAC reconciliation that could cause duplicated subjects in some bootstrapped rolebindings on each restart of the API server. ([#53239](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53239), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

 - [Action Required] CSI drivers that call IsLikelyNotMountPoint should not assume false means that the path is a mount point. Each CSI driver needs to make sure correct usage of return value of IsLikelyNotMountPoint because if the file is an irregular file but not a mount point is acceptable ([#129370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129370), [@andyzhangx](https...

- Reporting E2E conformance test results to TestGrid from every cloud provider (in collaboration with SIG Testing & SIG Release)
- Defining minimum required documentation from each cloud provider which includes (in collaboration with SIG Docs):
  - example manifests for the kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-schedule, kubelet, and the cloud-controller-manager

- In order to enable dual-stack support within kubeadm and kubernetes components, as part of the init config file, the user should set feature-gate `IPv6DualStack=true` in the ClusterConfiguration. Additionally, for each worker node, the user should set the feature-gate for kubelet using either `nodeRegistration.kubeletExtraArgs` or `KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS`.
