- Fix: ignore non-VMSS error for VMAS nodes in `reconcileBackendPools`. ([#103997](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103997), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
- Fix: leave the probe path empty for TCP probes ([#105253](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105253), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

- Fixed a startup probe race condition that caused main containers to remain stuck in "Initializing" state when sidecar containers with startup probes had failed initially but succeeded on restart in pods with `restartPolicy=Never`. ([#133072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133072), [@AadiDev005](https://github.com/AadiDev005))...

- Revert kubelet prober metrics `pod` tag to include actual pod name ([#118549](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118549), [@a7i](https://github.com/a7i)) [SIG Node]

* Kubelet now exposes a new endpoint, `/metrics/probes`, which exposes a Prometheus metric containing the liveness and/or readiness probe results for a container. ([#61369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61369), [@rramkumar1](https://github.com/rramkumar1))

### SIG Network

- kubeadm: switched the kube-scheduler static Pod to use the endpoints `/livez` (for startup and liveness probes) and `/readyz` (for the readiness probe). Previously, `/healthz` was used for all probes, which is deprecated behavior in the scope of this component. ([#126945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126945), [@liangyuanpeng](https://github.com/liangyuanpeng)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]...

- Kubeadm: started using a named port 'probe-port' for all probes in the static pod manifests for kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-scheduler and etc. If you have previously patched the port values in probes with kubeadm patches, you must now also patch the named port value in the pod container under 'ports'. ([#132776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132776),...

### SIG Big Data

During the 1.13 release cycle, SIG Big Data has been focused on community engagements relating to 3rd-party project integrations with Kubernetes. There have been no impacts on the 1.13 release.

### SIG CLI

- Single static pod files and pod files from http endpoints cannot be larger than 10 MB. HTTP probe payloads are now truncated to 10KB. ([#82669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82669), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips))

- Implemented logging and event recording for probe results with an `Unknown` status in the kubelet's prober module. This helped improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cases where container probes returned an `Unknown` result, enhancing the observability and reliability of health checks.
