- Fix: use force detach for azure disk ([#91948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91948), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fixes a problem with 63-second or 1-second connection delays with some VXLAN-based
  network plugins which was first widely noticed in 1.16 (though some users saw it
  earlier than that, possibly only with specific network plugins). If you were previously

- The kubelet plugin manager now properly handles plugin registration failures by removing failed plugins from the actual state and retrying with exponential backoff (initial delay 500ms, doubling each failure up to ~2 minutes maximum) to protect...

- Fixed missing `kubelet_volume_stats_*` metrics. ([#133890](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133890), [@huww98](https://github.com/huww98)) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.
