* The `autoscaling/v2alpha1` API is now at `autoscaling/v2beta1`. However, the form of the API remains unchanged. Migrate the `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` resources to `autoscaling/v2beta1` to persist the `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` changes introduced in `autoscaling/v2alpha1`. The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler changes include support for status conditions, and autoscaling on memory and custom metrics.

### HorizontalPodAutoscaler v2 graduates to GA

Version 2 of the HorizontalPodAutoscaler API graduates to stable in the 1.23 release. The HorizontalPodAutoscaler `autoscaling/v2beta2` API is deprecated in favor of the new `autoscaling/v2` API, which the Kubernetes project recommends for all use cases.

This release does *not* deprecate the v1 HorizontalPodAutoscaler API.

* Introduces status conditions to the HorizontalPodAutoscaler in autoscaling/v2alpha1, indicating the current status of a given HorizontalPodAutoscaler, and why it is or is not scaling. ([#46550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46550), [@DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12))

- Added a new `tolerance` field to HorizontalPodAutoscaler, overriding the cluster-wide default. Enabled via the HPAConfigurableTolerance alpha feature gate. ([#130797](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130797), [@jm-franc](https://github.com/jm-franc)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Autoscaling,...

- Fix scheduler crash when removing node before its pods ([#89908](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89908), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Fixes conversion error for HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects with invalid annotations ([#89965](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89965), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Autoscaling]

### **Autoscaling**

*   HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects now properly functions on scalable resources in any API group. Fixed by adding a polymorphic scale client. ([#53743](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53743),[ @DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12))

* Introduces an new alpha version of the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler including expanded support for specifying metrics. ([#36033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36033), [@DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12)
* HorizontalPodAutoscaler is no longer supported in extensions/v1beta1 version. Use autoscaling/v1 instead. ([#35782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35782), [@piosz](https://github.com/piosz))

- Validated APIVersion fields of the `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` to ensure that API objects were created and functioned properly. ([#132537](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132537), [@lalitc375](https://github.com/lalitc375)) [SIG Etcd and Testing]

## Dependencies

- `kubectl` now uses `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` `v2` by default. ([#114886](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114886), [@a7i](https://github.com/a7i))

- Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.19.6 ([#115833](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115833), [@cpanato](https://github.com/cpanato)) [SIG Release and Testing]
- Use HorizontalPodAutoscaler v2 for kubectl ([#114886](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114886), [@a7i](https://github.com/a7i)) [SIG CLI]
