### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Volumes are no longer detached from healthy nodes after 6 minutes timeout. 6 minute force-detach timeout is used only for unhealthy nodes (`node.status.conditions["Ready"] != true`). ([#110721](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110721), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Apps]

- Kubeadm increased to 5 minutes its timeout for the TLS bootstrapping process to complete upon join ([#89735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89735), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubeadm: fixed the bug where the v1beta4 Timeouts.EtcdAPICall field was not respected in etcd client operations, and the default timeout of 2 minutes was always used. ([#129861](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129861), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Mark `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start` as safe `sysctl`. ([#103326](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103326), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))
- Metrics server nanny has now poll period set to 30s (previously 5 minutes) to allow faster scaling of metrics server. ([#101869](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101869), [@olagacek](https://github.com/olagacek)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Instrumentation]

* Increase allowed lag for ssh key sync loop in tunneler to allow for one failure ([#60068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60068), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

* Cluster autoscaler is now GA
* Cluster support size is increased to 1000 nodes
* Respect graceful pod termination of up to 10 minutes
* Handle zone stock-outs and failures
* Improve monitoring and error reporting
