* Fix aggressive VM calls for Azure VMSS ([#83102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83102), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

*   [beta] Flag `--chunk-size={SIZE}` is added to `kubectl get` to customize the number of results returned in large lists of resources. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters because the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly. Pass 0 to disable this feature.([#53768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53768),[ @smarterclayton](htt...

### Other notable changes

* Fix aggressive VM calls for Azure VMSS ([#83102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83102), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

* Audit logs might impact the API server performance and the latency of large request and response calls. The issue is observed under the following conditions: if `AdvancedAuditing` feature gate is enabled, which is the default case, if audit logging uses the log backend in JSON format, or if the audit policy records large API calls for requests or responses.

- Fix the problem where couple nodes becoming NotReady at the same time could cause master instability or even complete outage in large enough clusters. ([#88962](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88962), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz)) [SIG Apps]

- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits.

- Kube-apiserver: `gzip` compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits. ([#112299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112299), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))

### Bug or Regression

- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits. ([#112401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112401), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs)) [SIG API Machinery]

  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric
  - Errors in `IncreaseSize` changed from type `apiError` to `cloudProviderError`

* Pass cluster_location argument to Heapster ([#65176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65176), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
* fixes a memory leak in the kube-controller-manager observed when large numbers of pods with tolerations are created/deleted ([#65339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65339), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
