- Azure: fix concurreny issue in lb creation ([#89604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89604), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Azure: per VMSS VMSS VMs cache to prevent throttling on clusters having many attached VMSS ([#93107](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93107), [@bpineau](https://github.com/bpineau)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Limit use of tags when calling EC2 API to prevent API throttling for very large clusters. ([#76749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76749), [@mcrute](https://github.com/mcrute))

### **Instrumentation**

#### **Audit**

*   Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- Improved exponential backoff in Reflector, significantly reducing the load on Kubernetes apiserver in case of throttling of requests. ([#118132](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118132), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

* Limit use of tags when calling EC2 API to prevent API throttling for very large clusters ([#76749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76749), [@mcrute](https://github.com/mcrute))

 - Fix: azure disk dangling attach issue which would cause API throttling ([#90749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90749), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  - Fix pricing endpoint in AWS China Region
  
  ### Azure
  - Add optional jitter on initial VMSS VM cache refresh, keep the refreshes spread over time
  - Serve from cache for the whole period of ongoing throttling
  - Fix unwanted VMSS VMs cache invalidation
  - Enforce setting the number of retries if cloud provider backoff is enabled
  - Don't update capacity if VMSS provisioning state is updating

* Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
