### Feature

- Kubeadm: generate CA certificates with a start time that is offset 5 minutes in the past relative to the current system time to workaround cases of clock desync.

* [BugFix] Soft Eviction timer works correctly ([#52046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52046), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- Add `csi_operations_seconds` metric on kubelet that exposes CSI operations duration...

* attachdetach controller attaches volumes immediately when Pod's PVCs are bound ([#66863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66863), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))
* PVC may not be synced to controller local cache in time if PV is bound by external PV binder (e.g. kube-scheduler), double check if PVC is not found to prevent reclaiming PV wrongly. ([#67062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67062), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- Client-go: improved allocation behavior of the delaying workqueue when handling objects with far-future ready times. ([#83945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83945), [@barkbay](https://github.com/barkbay))

- `kubeadm`: generate CA certificates with a start time that is offset 5
  minutes in the past relative to the current system time to workaround cases of
  clock desync. ([#118922](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118922), [@champtar](https://github.com/champtar))

* Fix watch to not send the same set of events multiple times causing watcher to go back in time ([#73845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73845), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

  * Renamed Kubelet metric certificate_manager_server_expiration_seconds to certificate_manager_server_ttl_seconds and changed to report the second until expiration at read time rather than absolute time of expiry. 
  * Improved accuracy of Kubelet metric rest_client_exec_plugin_ttl_seconds.

* Update Cluster Autoscaler to version 1.3.7. ([#74136](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74136), [@jkaniuk](https://github.com/jkaniuk))
