        Please only use this template for submitting reports about flaky tests or jobs (pass or fail with no underlying change in code) in Kubernetes CI.

- The job controller back-off logic is now decoupled from workqueue. In case of parallelism > 1, if there are multiple new failures in a reconciliation cycle, all the failures are taken into account to compute the back-off. Previously, the back-off kicked in for all types of failures; with this change, only pod failures are taken into account. If the back-off limits exceeds, the job is marked as failed immediately; before this change, the job is marked as failed in the...

- Fixes an issue where StatefulSet might not restart a pod after eviction or node failure. ([#121389](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121389), [@aleksandra-malinowska](https://github.com/aleksandra-malinowska)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
- The scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, it could miss some cluster events,

* Deprecate the beta labels for zones ("failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone") and  ([#81431](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81431), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))
    * regions ("failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region") in favor of their GA equivalents:
    * "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region".

* fix the create azure file pvc failure if there is no storage account in current resource group ([#56557](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56557), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Increase allowed lag for ssh key sync loop in tunneler to allow for one failure ([#60068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60068), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

    * If the serialization type is 'application/json':
    * If serialization fails, and the original status code was an failure (e.g. 4xx or 5xx), the original status code will be returned.

 - Newly provisioned PVs by EBS plugin will no longer use the deprecated "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" labels. It will use "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region" labels instead. ([#99130](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99130), [@ayberk](https://github.com/ayberk))...

- Kubelet now exports a `server_expiration_renew_failure` and `client_expiration_renew_failure` metric counter if the certificate rotations cannot be performed. ([#84614](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84614), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster...

* fix azure disk mount failure on coreos and some other distros ([#54334](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54334), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fix for service controller so that it won't retry on doNotRetry service update failure. ([#54184](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54184), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))

* Added anti-affinity to kube-dns pods. Otherwise the "no single point of failure" setting doesn't actually work (a single node failure can still take down the entire cluster). ([#57683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57683), [@vainu-arto](https://github.com/vainu-arto))
