### SIG-Azure

Sig Azure was focused on two primary new alpha features:
- Adding Azure Availability Zones support to cloud provider.
- Supporting Cross RG resources (disks, Azure File and node [Experimental]

Besides the above new features, support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and Cluster-Autoscaler is now stable and considered GA:

#### Azure
* Fix failing load balancers in Azure ([#40405](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40405), [@codablock](https://github.com/codablock))
* Reduce time needed to attach Azure disks ([#40066](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40066), [@codablock](https://github.com/codablock))

In addition, support for NVMe disks has been added to Kubernetes, and a service of type LoadBalancer can now be backed with an NLB instead of an ELB (alpha).

### Azure

- Fixes issue where you can't attach more than 15 GCE Persistent Disks to c2, n2, m1, m2 machine types. ([#88602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88602), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Storage]

- Fixes an issue where you can't attach more than 15 GCE Persistent Disks to c2, n2, m1, m2 machine types. ([#88602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88602), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Storage]

	    * zone is the target zone (Will be "<n/a>" if not applicable)

	    * Note: this fixes some issues with the previous implementation of metrics for disks:

	      * Time duration tracked was of the initial API call, not the entire operation.

	      * Metrics label tuple would have resulted in many independent histograms stored, one for each disk. (Did not aggregate well).

- FibreChannel volume plugin may match the wrong device and wrong associated devicemapper parent. This may cause a disaster that pods attach wrong disks. ([#110719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110719), [@xakdwch](https://github.com/xakdwch))

- Only update Azure data disks when attach/detach ([#94265](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94265), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Promote SupportNodePidsLimit to GA to provide node-to-pod PID isolation.
