* kubectl port-forward now allows using resource name (e.g., deployment/www) to select a matching pod, as well as the use of --pod-running-timeout to wait until at least one pod is running. ([#59705](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59705), [@phsiao](https://github.com/phsiao))

## Dependencies

### Added

- Added CEL runtime cost calculation into ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, matching the evaluation cost
  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the

     * method minus filenames filtered by the specified filter.
     *
     * @param filter
     *            a filename filter to exclude filenames from the results
     * @return <code>String[]</code> array of matching files and directories,
     *         workgroups, servers, or shares depending on the context of the
     *         resource URL
     * @throws SmbException
     *             # @return An array of filenames

- Supporting Cross RG resources (disks, Azure File and node [Experimental]

Besides the above new features, support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and Cluster-Autoscaler is now stable and considered GA:

- Azure virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) allow you to create and manage identical load balanced VMs that automatically increase or decrease based on demand or a set schedule.

### **Instrumentation**

#### **Audit**

*   Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

   ([#121834](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121834), [@vaibhav2107](https://github.com/vaibhav2107))
- Changed the API server so that for admission webhooks that have a URL matching the hostname 'localhost' or a loopback IP address, the connection supports HTTP/2 where it could be negotiated.
