### Non-recursive Volume Ownership (FSGroup) graduates to Beta

By default, the `fsgroup` setting, if specified, recursively updates permissions for every file in a volume on every mount. This can make mount, and pod startup, very slow if the volume has many files. 

* change azure disk host cache to ReadOnly by default ([#72229](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72229), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fixes a bug in HPA controller so HPAs are always updated every resyncPeriod (15 seconds). ([#72373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72373), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

### GCP

- Fixed liveness probe in fluentd-gcp cluster addon ([#74522](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74522), [@Pluies](https://github.com/Pluies))
- Reduced GCE log rotation check from 1 hour to every 5 minutes.  Rotation policy is unchanged (new day starts, log file size > 100MB). ([#72062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72062), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

### Network

* Change kube-proxy & fluentd CPU request to 20m/80m. ([#23646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23646), [@cjcullen](https://github.com/cjcullen))
* Create a new Deployment in kube-system for every version. ([#23512](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23512), [@Q-Lee](https://github.com/Q-Lee))

- For raw block CSI volumes on Kubernetes, kubelet was incorrectly calling CSI NodeStageVolume for every single "map" (i.e. raw block "mount") operation for a volume already attached to the node. This PR ensures it is only called once per volume per node. ([#112403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112403), [@akankshakumari393](https://g...

- `kube-apiserver` updated:

* Enable lazy inode table and journal initialization for ext3 and ext4 ([#38865](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38865), [@codablock](https://github.com/codablock))
* Kubelet will no longer set hairpin mode on every interface on the machine when an error occurs in setting up hairpin for a specific interface. ([#36990](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36990), [@bboreham](https://github.com/bboreham))
