- Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. `k8s.io/client-go` version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.

##### 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

- Volumes are no longer detached from healthy nodes after 6 minutes timeout. 6 minute force-detach timeout is used only for unhealthy nodes (`node.status.conditions["Ready"]!= true`). ([#110721](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110721), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

- Mark `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start` as safe `sysctl`. ([#103326](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103326), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))
- Metrics server nanny has now poll period set to 30s (previously 5 minutes) to allow faster scaling of metrics server. ([#101869](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101869), [@olagacek](https://github.com/olagacek)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Instrumentation]

- Previously, the scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, potentially resulting in missed cluster events and Pods rejected by Extenders being stuck in the unschedulable pod pool for up to 5 minutes in the worst-case scenario. Now, the scheduling queue notices extenders' failures and requeues Pods rejected by Extenders appropriately.

- 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.
