### Scheduler
* Add the support to the scheduler for spreading pods of StatefulSets. ([#41708](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41708), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

  Previously, for IPv6, if the podSubnet had a mask lower than /112, kubeadm calculated a node-mask to be multiple of eight and splitting the available bits to maximise the number used for nodes.

- Make error message and service event message more clear ([#86078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86078), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Minimize AWS NLB health check timeout when externalTrafficPolicy set to Local ([#73363](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73363), [@kellycampbell](https://github.com/kellycampbell)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

volume counts on cloud nodes, exclusive CPU cores, or unique hardware devices) could trigger the failure. While this behavior is correct it reduces the throughput of pod execution and creates user-visible warnings - [future versions of Kubernetes will minimize the likelihood users see pod failures due to this issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/106884). In general, any automation that creates pods [must take Kubelet rejections into account](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/schedu...
