##### Cluster Autoscaler

* Cluster autoscaler is now GA
* Cluster support size is increased to 1000 nodes
* Respect graceful pod termination of up to 10 minutes
* Handle zone stock-outs and failures
* Improve monitoring and error reporting

#### Container Runtime Interface (CRI)

- For GCE cluster provider, fix bug of not being able to create internal type load balancer for clusters with more than 1000 nodes in a single zone.

- Ensure Azure availability zone is always in lower cases. ([#89722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89722), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Automatically copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access...

- Fix system default topology spreading when nodes don't have zone labels. Pods correctly spread by default now. ([#105046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105046), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
