   * Returns the slope of the transformation, i.e. the rate of change of {@code y} with respect to

- Added support for in-place vertical scaling of Pods with sidecars (containers defined within `initContainers` where the `restartPolicy` is set to `Always`). ([#128367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128367), [@vivzbansal](https://github.com/vivzbansal)) [SIG API Machinery,...

- Added a detailed event for in-place pod vertical scaling completed, improving cluster management and debugging. ([#130387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130387), [@shiya0705](https://github.com/shiya0705)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Autoscaling, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Extend discovery GroupManager with Group lister interface ([#127524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127524), [@mjudeikis](https://github.com/mjudeikis)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixed: Avoid overwriting in-pod vertical scaling updates on systemd daemon reloads when using systemd ([#124216](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124216), [@iholder101](https://github.com/iholder101)) [SIG Node]
