- Using the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler with metrics from Heapster is now deprecated and will be disabled in a future version. ([#68089](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68089), [@DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12))

## New Features

- E2e framework: the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint has been removed from the default value of `--non-blocking-taints` flag. You may need to set `--non-blocking-taints` explicitly if the cluster to be tested has nodes with the deprecated `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint. ([#118510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118510), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Fixed a bug where a high churn of events was causing master instability by reducing the maximum number of objects (events) attached to a single etcd lease. ([#100452](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100452), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz)) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]

* fix: azure disk could not mounted on Standard_DC4s/DC2s instances ([#86612](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86612), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fix v1.17.0 regression in reflector relist causing master rolling upgrade to fail for large clusters due to excessive list calls to etcd ([#86824](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86824), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))
