### Feature

- Added 3 new metrics for monitoring async API calls in the scheduler when the `SchedulerAsyncAPICalls` feature gate was enabled:
    - `scheduler_async_api_call_execution_total`: tracks executed API calls by call type and result (success/error)

- Azure VMSS LoadBalancerBackendAddressPools updating has been improved with sequential-sync + concurrent-async requests. ([#88699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88699), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- RateLimiter add a context-aware method, fix client-go request goruntine backlog in async timeout scene. ([#79375](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79375), [@answer1991](https://github.com/answer1991))

    * faster handoff when a leader-elected process is gracefully terminated.
* Make volume binder resilient to races between main schedule loop and async binding operation  ([#72045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72045), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))
