- Fix nil VMSS name when setting service to auto mode ([#97366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97366), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fix privileged config of Pod Sandbox which was previously ignored. ([#96877](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96877), [@xeniumlee](https://github.com/xeniumlee))

* fix incorrect prometheus azure metrics ([#77722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77722), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fixed a bug in the apiserver storage that could cause just-added finalizers to be ignored on an immediately following delete request, leading to premature deletion. ([#77619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77619), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- Fix computing backoff delay when using Job pod failure policy, by including in the backoff delay calculation pod failures ignored from the backoffLimit counter.
  
  Also, compute the backoff delay more accurately for deleted pods. ([#119466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119466), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]
