- Pkg k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/storage/cacher, method (*Cacher) Wait(context.Context) error ([#125450](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125450), [@mauri870](https://github.com/mauri870)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Bug or Regression

  The incorrect loop logic might lead to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which is unexpected. ([#122370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122370), [@caohe](https://github.com/caohe)) [SIG Scheduling]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- New `KUBECACHEDIR` environment variable was introduced to override default discovery cache directory which is `$HOME/.kube/cache`. ([#109479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109479), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))

- 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]
