- Replace scale down forbidden window with scale down stabilization window. Rather than waiting a fixed period of time between scale downs HPA now scales down to the highest recommendation it during the scale down stabilization window. ([#68122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68122), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

- Promote CSIMigrationOpenStack to Beta (off by default since it requires installation of the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver. The in-tree AWS OpenStack Cinder driver "kubernetes.io/cinder" was deprecated in 1.16 and will be removed in 1.20. Users should enable CSIMigration + CSIMigrationOpenStack features and install the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver (https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack) to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time....

#### Application autoscaling
* Make "upscale forbidden window" and "downscale forbidden window"  duration configurable in arguments of kube-controller-manager. ([#42101](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42101), [@Dmitry1987](https://github.com/Dmitry1987))

#### Application Deployment

- Added Custom Resource support to `kubectl autoscale` ([#72678](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72678), [@rmohr](https://github.com/rmohr))
- Cinder volume limit can now be configured from node too ([#74542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74542), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

### **OpenStack**

*   OpenStack Cinder support has been improved:
    *   Cinder version detection now works properly. ([#53115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53115),[ @FengyunPan](https://github.com/FengyunPan))

* Make volume usage metrics available for Cinder ([#62668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62668), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

 - OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is on by default, Clinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work. ([#98538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98538), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Storage]

- Graduated the `WinDSR` feature in the kube-proxy to beta. The `WinDSR` feature gate is now enabled by default. ([#130876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130876), [@rzlink](https://github.com/rzlink)) [SIG Windows]

- Graduated the `WinDSR` feature in the kube-proxy to GA. The `WinDSR` feature gate was enabled by default. ([#132108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132108), [@rzlink](https://github.com/rzlink)) [SIG Network and Windows]

  when the corresponding csi driver was installed:
  - `awsElasticBlockStore` for `ebs.csi.aws.com`
  - `azureDisk` for `disk.csi.azure.com`
  - `gcePersistentDisk` for `pd.csi.storage.googleapis.com`
  - `cinder` for `cinder.csi.openstack.org`
  - `csi`
  However it was still enforced using a limit in CSINode objects. ([#126924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126924), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
