- Authentication token cache size is increased (from 4k to 32k) to support clusters with many nodes or many namespaces with active service accounts. ([#83643](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83643), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))

## Changelog since v1.27.14

  Previously, when unschedulable Pods are updated, the scheduler always put Pods back to activeQ/backoffQ. But, actually not all updates to Pods make Pods schedulable, especially considering many scheduling constraints nowadays are immutable.

* Default behavior in Cinder storageclass is changed. If availability is not specified, the zone is chosen by algorithm. It makes possible to spread stateful pods across many zones. ([#44798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44798), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

- kube-scheduler removed `AzureDiskLimits` ,`CinderLimits` `EBSLimits` and `GCEPDLimits` plugin. Given the corresponding CSI driver reports how many volumes a node can handle in NodeGetInfoResponse, the kubelet stores this limit in CSINode and the scheduler then knows the limit of the driver on the node. Removed plugins AzureDiskLimits, CinderLimits, EBSLimits and GCEPDLimits if you explicitly...
