### Scheduling

- Improved fairness of the scheduling queue by placing pods which are attempted recently behind other pods with the same priority. ([#73700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73700), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

## Changelog since v1.29.5

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Improved scheduling performance when many nodes, and prefilter returns 1-2 nodes (e.g. daemonset)
  

- Improved FormatMap: Improves performance by about 4x, or nearly 2x in the worst case ([#112661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112661), [@aimuz](https://github.com/aimuz)) [SIG Node]

- Improved scheduling performance when many nodes, and prefilter returned 1-2 nodes (e.g. daemonset)
  

        Entry<K, V>[] nonNullEntries = (Entry<K, V>[]) entries;
        if (!throwIfDuplicateKeys) {
          // We want to retain only the last-put value for any given key, before sorting.
          // This could be improved, but orderEntriesByValue is rather rarely used anyway.
          Entry<K, V>[] lastEntryForEachKey = lastEntryForEachKey(nonNullEntries, size);
          if (lastEntryForEachKey != null) {

### Introducing Windows CSI support alpha for Kubernetes

With the release of Kubernetes 1.18, an alpha version of CSI Proxy for Windows is getting released. CSI proxy enables non-privileged (pre-approved) containers to perform privileged storage operations on Windows. CSI drivers can now be supported in Windows by leveraging CSI proxy.
SIG Storage made a lot of progress in the 1.18 release.
