- Added TAS logic to the pod group scheduling cycle behind TopologyAwareWorkloadScheduling feature gate. This feature supports scheduling pod groups on nodes with matching topology domains. ([#137489](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/137489), [@brejman](https://github.com/brejman)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Etcd, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Implement changes to prevent pod scheduling to a node without CSI driver ([#135012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135012), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG API Machinery, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]

- Ensured that non-scheduling related errors (e.g., network errors) did not lengthen the Pod scheduling backoff time. ([#128748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128748), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
- Executed API calls dispatched during pod scheduling asynchronously if the `SchedulerAsyncAPICalls` feature gate was enabled.

- DRA: Restricted the length of opaque device configuration parameters. At admission time, Kubernetes enforces a 10KiB size limit. ([#128601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128601), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Etcd, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Revised scheduling behavior to correctly handle nominated node changes. Trigger rescheduling of pods 
if necessary when pods with nominated node names got deleted or nominated on a different node. ([#129058](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129058), [@dom4ha](https://github.com/dom4ha)) [SIG Scheduling, Storage and Testing]

- **Configuration**: Allows the build structure and work, such as tasks, to be specified. This includes the project model, the DSL and so on.
- **Execution**: Runs the work efficiently. This includes scheduling, execution, caching and so on.

#### Software development platform

This is a general purpose platform that builds on the core automation platform to add support for the automation of software development.
