* The `autoscaling/v2alpha1` API is now at `autoscaling/v2beta1`. However, the form of the API remains unchanged. Migrate the `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` resources to `autoscaling/v2beta1` to persist the `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` changes introduced in `autoscaling/v2alpha1`. The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler changes include support for status conditions, and autoscaling on memory and custom metrics.

### HorizontalPodAutoscaler v2 graduates to GA

Version 2 of the HorizontalPodAutoscaler API graduates to stable in the 1.23 release. The HorizontalPodAutoscaler `autoscaling/v2beta2` API is deprecated in favor of the new `autoscaling/v2` API, which the Kubernetes project recommends for all use cases.

This release does *not* deprecate the v1 HorizontalPodAutoscaler API.
