- Remove storage metrics `storage_operation_errors_total`, since we already have `storage_operation_status_count`.And add new field `status` for `storage_operation_duration_seconds`, so that we can know about all status storage operation latency.

            executor.shutdown();
            assertTrue(executor.awaitTermination(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS));

            // Some operations might succeed before key wipe, some might fail after
            // At minimum, we expect some activity (not all operations should be no-ops)
            int totalOperations = successCount.get() + failureCount.get();

    bytesIn.writeByte(0x0d) // Literal value (len = 13)
    bytesIn.writeUtf8("custom-header")

    // Set to only support 110 bytes (enough for 2 headers).
    // Use a new Writer because we don't support change the dynamic table
    // size after Writer constructed.
    val writer = Hpack.Writer(110, false, bytesOut)
    writer.writeHeaders(headerBlock)
    assertThat(bytesOut).isEqualTo(bytesIn)

- We will no longer automatically delete all data when a failure is detected during creation of the volume data file on a CSI volume. Now we will only remove the data file and volume path.

### SIG-autoscaling

SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:
- We released autoscaling/v2beta2, which cleans up and unifies the API
- We improved readiness detection and smoothing to work well in a larger variety or use cases

### SIG-Azure

Sig Azure was focused on two primary new alpha features:

    assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> cartesianProduct(set, set, set, set, set));
  }

  public void testCartesianProduct_hashCode() {
    // Run through the same cartesian products we tested above

    Set<List<Integer>> degenerate = cartesianProduct();
    checkHashCode(degenerate);

    checkHashCode(cartesianProduct(set(1, 2)));

NoSchedule taint if the taint is added to a Node.  There is an open PR ([#48189](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48189)) to resolve this issue, but as this issue also exists in 1.6, and as we do not wish to risk release stability by merging it directly prior to a release without sufficient testing, we have decided to defer merging the PR until the next point release for each minor version ([#48190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48190)).

- QueueingHint implementation for NodeAffinity is reverted because we found potential scenarios where events that make Pods schedulable could be missed. ([#122327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122327), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
