* Authorization sets `authorization.k8s.io/decision` and `authorization.k8s.io/reason` annotations with the authorization decision ("allow" or "forbid") and a human-readable description of why the decision was made (for example, RBAC includes the name of the role/binding/subject which allowed a request).

- 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 virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) allow you to create and manage identical load balanced VMs that automatically increase or decrease based on demand or a set schedule.

- Kubeadm: remove the "ephemeral_storage" request from the etcd static pod that kubeadm deploys on stacked etcd control plane nodes. This request has caused sporadic failures on some setups due to a problem in the kubelet with cadvisor and the LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature gate. See this issue for more details: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/99305 ([#102673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102673),...

The kube-scheduler is adding a new, simplified config field for Plugins to allow multiple extension points to be enabled in one spot.
The new `multiPoint` plugin field is intended to simplify most scheduler setups for administrators.
Plugins that are enabled via `multiPoint` will automatically be registered for each individual extension point that they implement.

Kubeadm: Automate certificate copy between control planes in HA setups

- Joining control plane nodes to a HA cluster can now be simplified by enabling the optional automatic copy of certificates from an existing control plane node.
