- We released autoscaling/v2beta2, which cleans up and unifies the API
- We improved readiness detection and smoothing to work well in a larger variety or use cases

### 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]

- Apiserver adds two new metrics `etcd_requests_total` and `etcd_request_errors_total` that allow users to monitor requests to etcd storage, split by operation and resource type. ([#117222](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117222), [@iyear](https://github.com/iyear))...

- `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple environment
  variables, use the `--env` flag multiple times instead. Example: `--env ONE=1 --env TWO=2` instead of `--env ONE=1,TWO=2`.

- Removed deprecated command `kubectl stop`.

- Kubectl can now use http caching for the OpenAPI schema. The cache

  * `--basic-auth-file` supports optionally specifying groups in the fourth column of the file ([#39651](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39651), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* API server now has two separate limits for read-only and mutating inflight requests. ([#36064](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36064), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))

### Extending Ingress with and replacing a deprecated annotation with IngressClass

  Jobs that are tracked using this mechanism get the annotation `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking`. This is a temporary measure. Two releases after this feature graduates to beta, the annotation won't be added to Jobs anymore.

de feature gate. It can be used to tell kubeadm to use the local kube-apiserver endpoint for the kubelet when creating a cluster with "kubeadm init" or when joining control plane nodes with "kubeadm join".  The "kubeadm join" workflow now includes two new experimental phases called "control-plane-join-etcd" and "kubelet-wait-bootstrap" which will be used when the feature gate is enabled. This phases will be marked as non-experimental when ControlPlaneKubeletLocalMode becomes GA. During "kubeadm upgrade"...

  never enter the Succeeded phase may need to adapt their controllers. This is because as a consequence of 
  the change pods which use RestartPolicy=Always may end up in the Succeeded phase in two scenarios: pod 
  deletion and graceful node shutdown. ([#115331](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115331), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Node and Testing]

*   Code generation for CRD and User API server types is improved with the addition of two new scripts to k8s.io/code-generator: `generate-groups.sh` and `generate-internal-groups.sh`. ([#52186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52186),[ @sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
