* The ability to use kubectl scale jobs is deprecated. All other scale operations remain in place, but the ability to scale jobs will be removed in a future release.  ([#60139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60139), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

  that provide new subcommands. Refer to the documentation for more information.

- `kubectl rollout` and `rollback` now support StatefulSet.

- `kubectl scale` now uses the Scale subresource for kinds in the apps/v1beta2 group.

- `kubectl create configmap` and `kubectl create secret` subcommands now support
  the `--append-hash` flag, which enables unique but deterministic naming for

    *   The view role includes read permissions on poddisruptionbudget.policy resources.
*   RBAC rules can now match the same subresource on any resource using the form `*/(subresource)`. For example, `*/scale` matches requests to `replicationcontroller/scale`. ([#53722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53722),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

### Autoscaling

- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling can now scale targets up even when one or more metrics are invalid/unavailable, as long as one metric indicates a scale up should occur. ([#78503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78503), [@gjtempleton](https://github.com/gjtempleton))

- If we set SelectPolicy MinPolicySelect on scaleUp behavior or scaleDown behavior,Horizontal Pod Autoscaler doesn't automatically scale the number of pods correctly ([#95647](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95647), [@JoshuaAndrew](https://github.com/JoshuaAndrew)) [SIG Apps and Autoscaling]

- Updated `kubectl scale` to return a consistent error message when a specified resource is not found. Previously, it returned: `error: no objects passed to scale <GroupResource> "<ResourceName>" not found`. It now matches the format used by other commands (e.g., `kubectl get`): `Error from server (NotFound): <GroupResource> "<ResourceName>"...
