- Reduce default NodeStatusReportFrequency to 5 minutes. With this change, periodic node status updates will be send every 5m if node status doesn't change (otherwise they are still send with 10s).

  Bump NodeProblemDetector version to v0.8.0 to reduce forced NodeStatus updates frequency to 5 minutes. ([#84007](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84007), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kubeadm increased to 5 minutes its timeout for the TLS bootstrapping process to complete upon join ([#89735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89735), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

* Fixes bug in DaemonSetController causing it to stop processing some DaemonSets for 5 minutes after node removal. ([#76060](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76060), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

##### Cluster Autoscaler

* Cluster autoscaler is now GA
* Cluster support size is increased to 1000 nodes
* Respect graceful pod termination of up to 10 minutes
* Handle zone stock-outs and failures
* Improve monitoring and error reporting

#### Container Runtime Interface (CRI)

* PidPressure evicts pods from lowest priority to highest priority ([#72844](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72844), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- Fixed a `v1.28` regression in scheduler: a pod with concurrent events could incorrectly get moved to the unschedulable queue where it could get stuck until the next periodic purging after 5 minutes, if there was no other event for it. ([#120413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120413), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

    * In order to remain backwards compatible, the new controller only manages attach/detach...

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

If this happens to you, you can wait at most 10 minutes for the replication controller to start a resync, the extra pods will then be deleted. Or, you can manually trigger a resync by change the replicas in the spec of the replication controller.
