- Revert addition of Add `PersistentVolumeClaimDeletePoilcy` to `StatefulSet`API. ([#103747](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103747), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary))
- Scheduler could be configured  to consider new resources beside CPU and memory,  GPU for example, for the score plugin of `NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation`. ([#101946](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101946), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Scheduling]

- When the feature gates `PodDisruptionConditions` and `JobPodFailurePolicy` are both enabled,
  the Job controller now does not consider a terminating Pod (a pod that has a `.metadata.deletionTimestamp`)
  as a failure until that Pod is terminal (its `.status.phase` is `Failed` or `Succeeded`).
  

  - example manifests for the kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-schedule, kubelet, and the cloud-controller-manager
  - labels/annotations that are consumed by any cloud specific controllers

In addition to the above, SIG Cloud Provider has been focusing on a long running effort to remove cloud provider code from kubernetes/kubernetes.

### SIG-cluster-lifecycle

- The `pod_scheduling_duration_seconds` metrics won't consider the time when a Pod fails PreEnqueue (like being gated). ([#118821](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118821), [@helayoty](https://github.com/helayoty)) [SIG Scheduling]

### Bug or Regression

- Consider only plugin directory and not entire kubelet root when cleaning up mounts ([#112921](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112921), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary)) [SIG Storage]
