- Fixed two scheduler metrics (pending_pods and schedule_attempts_total) not being recorded ([#87692](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87692), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Fixes an issue with kubelet-reported pod status on deleted/recreated pods. ([#86320](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86320), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Node]

- Number of errors reported to the metric `storage_operation_duration_seconds_count` for emptyDir decreased significantly because previously one error was reported for each projected volume created.

### SIG Scheduling

- Fix detach azure disk issue when vm not exist ([#95177](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95177), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fix etcd_object_counts metric reported by kube-apiserver ([#94817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94817), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

* kubelets that specify `--cloud-provider` now only report addresses in Node status as determined by the cloud provider ([#65594](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65594), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
   * kubelet serving certificate rotation now reacts to changes in reported node addresses, and will request certificates for addresses set by an external cloud provider

* Kubelet will now set extended resource capacity to zero after it restarts. If the extended resource is exported by a device plugin, its capacity will change to a valid value after the device plugin re-connects with the Kubelet. If the extended resource is exported by an external component through direct node status capacity patching, the component should repatch the field after kubelet becomes ready again. During the time gap, pods...

## New Features

- kubelet: When node lease feature is enabled, kubelet reports node status to api server only if there is some change or it didn't report over last report interval. ([#69753](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69753), [@wangzhen127](https://github.com/wangzhen127))

- E2e framework: added `--report-complete-ginkgo` and `--report-complete-junit` parameters. They work like `ginkgo --json-report <report dir>/ginkgo/report.json --junit-report <report dir>/ginkgo/report.xml`.
