- Performance of the inter-pod affinity/anti-affinity feature is improved over 100X via algorithmic optimization.
- DaemonSet pods, which used to be scheduled by the DaemonSet controller, will be scheduled by the default scheduler in 1.12. This change allows DaemonSet pods to enjoy all the scheduling features of the default scheduler.

Pod Priority and Preemption in Kubernetes ([#564](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/564))

- Pod priority and preemption enables Kubernetes scheduler to schedule more important Pods first and when cluster is out of resources, it removes less important pods to create room for more important ones. The importance is specified by priority.

*   Refactor kube-scheduler configuration ([#52428](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52428))

- Migrate `pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/interpodaffinity/filtering.go`,`pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/podtopologyspread/filtering.go`, `pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/volumezone/volume_zone.go` to structured logging (#105931, @mengjiao-liu) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]

### Scheduling
* **Multiple schedulers**
  * Modify your PodSpecs that currently use the `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/name` annotation on Pod, to instead use the `schedulerName` field in the PodSpec.
  * Modify any custom scheduler(s) you have written so that they read the `schedulerName` field on Pod instead of the `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/name` annotation.

* Default scheduler code is moved out of the plugin directory. ([#57852](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57852), [@misterikkit](https://github.com/misterikkit))
    * plugin/pkg/scheduler -> pkg/scheduler
    * plugin/cmd/kube-scheduler -> cmd/kube-scheduler
