### Bug or Regression

- Fixes CSI volume attachment scaling issue by using informers. ([#91307](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91307), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Storage and Testing]

    * This ensures that attachment and detachment of volumes is independent of any single nodes’ availability. Meaning, if a node or kubelet becomes unavailable for any reason, the volumes attached to that node will be detached so they are free to be attached to other nodes.

# v1.13.0-alpha.2

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io)

- Kubelet detected terminal CSI volume mount failures due to exceeded attachment limits on the node and marked the Stateful Pod as Failed, allowing its controller to recreate it. This prevented Pods from getting stuck indefinitely in the `ContainerCreating` state. ([#132933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132933),...

    * Fixes volume detach from shutdown nodes.
* remove retry operation on attach/detach  azure disk ([#70568](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70568), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix azure disk attachment error on Linux ([#70002](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70002), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
