##### Cluster Autoscaler

* Cluster autoscaler is now GA
* Cluster support size is increased to 1000 nodes
* Respect graceful pod termination of up to 10 minutes
* Handle zone stock-outs and failures
* Improve monitoring and error reporting

#### Container Runtime Interface (CRI)

- Kubelet: the connection to a DRA driver became unusable because of an internal deadlock when a connection was idle for 30 minutes. ([#133934](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133934), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node]

- Kubeadm: fixed the bug where the v1beta4 Timeouts.EtcdAPICall field was not respected in etcd client operations, and the default timeout of 2 minutes was always used.
