- DaemonSet controller is now using backoff algorithm to avoid hot loops fighting with kubelet on pod recreation when a particular DaemonSet is misconfigured. ([#65309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65309), [@tnozicka](https://github.com/tnozicka))

### Bug or Regression

- Avoid caching the Azure VMSS instances whose network profile is nil ([#100948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100948), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* Fix metrics API group name in audit configuration ([#53493](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53493), [@piosz](https://github.com/piosz))
* Use separate client for leader election in scheduler to avoid starving leader election by regular scheduler operations. ([#53793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53793), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

* A cluster-autoscaler ClusterRole is added to cover only the functionality required by Cluster Autoscaler and avoid abusing system:cluster-admin role. ([#64503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64503), [@kgolab](https://github.com/kgolab))

setting the `UnauthenticatedHTTP2DOSMitigation` feature gate to `true` (it is disabled by default). An API server fronted by an L7 load balancer that already mitigates these http/2 attacks may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to avoid disrupting load balancer → kube-apiserver connections if http/2 requests from multiple clients share the same backend connection. An API server on a private network may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to prevent performance regressions...
