### Server-side Apply graduates to GA

* Default behavior in Cinder storageclass is changed. If availability is not specified, the zone is chosen by algorithm. It makes possible to spread stateful pods across many zones. ([#44798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44798), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

*   Object count quotas supported on all standard resources using count/<resource>.<group> syntax ([#54320](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54320),[ @derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
*   Apply algorithm in scheduler by feature gates. ([#52723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52723),[ @k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

* kube-proxy: ratelimit runs of iptables by sync-period flags ([#46266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46266), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

- kubeadm will now not fail preflight checks when running on >= 5.0 Linux kernel ([#74355](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74355), [@brb](https://github.com/brb))
- Scheduler cache snapshot algorithm has been optimized to improve scheduling throughput. ([#74041](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74041), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

- Kubernetes 1.24 bumped version of golang it is compiled with to go1.18, which introduced significant changes to its garbage collection algorithm. As a result, we observed an increase in memory usage for kube-apiserver in larger an heavily loaded clusters up to ~25% (with the benefit of API call latencies drop by up to 10x on 99th percentiles). If the memory increase is not acceptable for...

### SIG-autoscaling

SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:
- 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

- Reverted devicemanager for Windows node added in 1.19rc1. ([#93263](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93263), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Node and Windows]
- Scheduler v1 Policy config or algorithm-provider settings can now be passed alongside v1beta1 ComponentConfig to aid transition from Policy to CC ([#92531](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92531), [@damemi](https://github.com/damemi)) [SIG Scheduling]
