### SIG Scheduling

- The equivalence class cache has been redesigned to be a two level cache, resulting in a significant increase in scheduling throughput and performance. ([#65714](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65714), [@resouer](https://github.com/resouer))

- Fix the bug PIP's DNS is deleted if no DNS label service annotation isn't set. ([#87312](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87312), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fix: set nil cache entry based on old cache ([#87591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87591), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

- To reduce chances of throttling, VM cache is set to nil when Azure node provisioning state is deleting ([#87635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87635), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
