- Replace scale down forbidden window with scale down stabilization window. Rather than waiting a fixed period of time between scale downs HPA now scales down to the highest recommendation it during the scale down stabilization window. ([#68122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68122), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))...

### Autoscaling

- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling can now scale targets up even when one or more metrics are invalid/unavailable, as long as one metric indicates a scale up should occur. ([#78503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78503), [@gjtempleton](https://github.com/gjtempleton))


### AWS

## Notable Changes to Existing Behavior

### Deployments

- ReplicaSets of paused Deployments are now scaled while the Deployment is paused. This is retroactive to existing Deployments.
- When scaling a Deployment during a rollout, the ReplicaSets of all Deployments are now scaled proportionally based on the number of replicas they each have instead of only scaling the newest ReplicaSet.
