## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- We have added a new Priority & Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent 
  restarting of "healthy" kube-apiserver instance(s) by kubelet. ([#101114](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101114), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Bug or Regression

  `Please, then,' said Alice, `how am I to get in?'

  `There might be some sense in your knocking,' the Footman went
on without attending to her, `if we had the door between us.  For
instance, if you were INSIDE, you might knock, and I could let
you out, you know.'  He was looking up into the sky all the time
he was speaking, and this Alice thought decidedly uncivil.  `But

- Avoid caching the Azure VMSS instances whose network profile is nil ([#100948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100948), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Azure: Avoid setting cached Sku when updating VMSS and VMSS instances. ([#102005](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102005), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

<p>
On machines where <code>SP</code> and <code>PC</code> are
traditionally aliases for a physical, numbered register,
in the Go assembler the names <code>SP</code> and <code>PC</code>
are still treated specially;
for instance, references to <code>SP</code> require a symbol,
much like <code>FP</code>.
To access the actual hardware register use the true <code>R</code> name.
For example, on the ARM architecture the hardware

	// Only valid when StateConnected.
	LastPong int64

	// State of the connection (atomic)
	state State

	// Non-atomic
	Remote string
	Local  string

	// ID of this connection instance.
	id uuid.UUID

	// Remote uuid, if we have been connected.
	remoteID    *uuid.UUID
	reconnectMu sync.Mutex

	// Context for the server.
	ctx context.Context

	// Active mux connections.

  
  ### Exoscale
  - Add support for Exoscale
  
  ### GCE

- Fix: remove VMSS and VMSS instances from SLB backend pool only when necessary ([#105839](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105839), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
