- Don't update capacity if VMSS provisioning state is updating
  - Support allocatable resources overrides via VMSS tags
  - Add missing stable labels in template nodes
  - Proactively set instance status to deleting on node deletions
  
  ### Cluster API
  - Migrate interaction with the API from using internal types to using Unstructured
  - Improve tests to work better with constrained resources
  - Add support for node autodiscovery

- Fix JobTrackingWithFinalizers that:
  - was declaring a job finished before counting all the created pods in the status
  - was leaving pods with finalizers, blocking pod and job deletions
  
  JobTrackingWithFinalizers is still disabled by default. ([#109486](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109486), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
