* StatefulSets now include an alpha scaling feature accessible by setting the `spec.podManagementPolicy` field to `Parallel`.  The controller will not wait for pods to be ready before adding the other pods, and will replace deleted pods as needed.  Since parallel scaling creates pods out of order, you cannot depend on predictable membership changes within your set. ([#44899](https://github.com/kuberne...

### Bug or Regression

- Fixes CSI volume attachment scaling issue by using informers. ([#91307](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91307), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Storage and Testing]

- ReplicaSets of paused Deployments are now scaled while the Deployment is paused. This is retroactive to existing Deployments.
- When scaling a Deployment during a rollout, the ReplicaSets of all Deployments are now scaled proportionally based on the number of replicas they each have instead of only scaling the newest ReplicaSet.

- Azure virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) allow you to create and manage identical load balanced VMs that automatically increase or decrease based on demand or a set schedule.
- With this new stable feature, Kubernetes supports the scaling of containerized applications with Azure VMSS, including the ability to integrate it with cluster-autoscaler to automatically adjust the size of the Kubernetes clusters based on the same conditions.
