* add goroutine to move unschedulable pods to activeq if they are not retried for more than 1 minute ([#72558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72558), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))
* Scale max-inflight limits together with master VM sizes. ([#73268](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73268), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- When downscaling ReplicaSets, ready and creation timestamps are compared in a logarithmic scale. ([#99212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99212), [@damemi](https://github.com/damemi)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
- When the kubelet is watching a ConfigMap or Secret purely in the context of setting environment variables

- From now on, the HPA controller will return an error for the container resource metrics when the feature gate "HPAContainerMetrics" is disabled. As a result, HPA with a container resource metric performs no scale-down and performs only scale-up based on other metrics.

  - Make `build-in-docker` and `test-in-docker` work on Linux systems with SELinux enabled
  - Fix an error where existing nodes were not considered as destinations while finding place for pods in scale-down simulations
  - Remove redundant log lines and reduce severity around parsing kubeEnv
  - Don't treat nodes created by virtual kubelet as nodes from non-autoscaled node groups

* Fix GPU resource validation ([#28743](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28743), [@therc](https://github.com/therc))
* Scale kube-proxy conntrack limits by cores (new default behavior) ([#28876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28876), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

 - Fixes a bug defining a default value for a replicas field in a custom resource definition that has the scale subresource enabled ([#90022](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90022), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider and Cluster Lifecycle]

- The validation of `replicas` field in the ReplicationController `/scale` subresource has been migrated to declarative validation.
  If the `DeclarativeValidation` feature gate is enabled, mismatches with existing validation are reported via metrics.

  * kubernetes-master juju charm properly detects etcd-scale events and reconfigures appropriately. ([#44967](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44967), [@chuckbutler](https://github.com/chuckbutler))
