- Metrics can now be disabled explicitly via a command line flag (i.e. '--disabled-metrics=metric1,metric2') ([#99217](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99217), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

- If `ComponentSLIs` feature gate is enabled, then `/metrics/slis` becomes available on kubelet, allowing you to scrape health check metrics. ([#113030](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113030), [@Richabanker](https://github.com/Richabanker)) [SIG Node]

### Pod resource metrics

On-demand metrics calculation is now available through `/metrics/resources`. [When enabled](
https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/cluster-administration/system-metrics#kube-scheduler-metrics), the endpoint will report the requested resources and the desired limits of all running pods.

- A new kubelet metric `image_pull_duration_seconds` was added. The metric tracks the duration (in seconds) it takes for an image to be pulled, including the time spent in the waiting queue of image puller. The metric is broken down by bucketed image size. ([#121719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121719), [@ruiwen-zhao](https://github.com/ruiwen-zhao))

- Cloud controller manager's node controller now emits timing metrics for initial `Node` synchronization. These metrics measure the delay between the creation of a new `Node` and the node controller's initial management actions, such as removing the cloud provider taint. These metrics should be consulted when setting cloud controller manager's `--concurrent-node-syncs` flag. ([#119241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119241),...

`autoscaling/v2alpha1`. The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler changes include support for status conditions, and autoscaling on memory and custom metrics.

* The metrics APIs, `custom-metrics.metrics.k8s.io` and `metrics`, were moved from `v1alpha1` to `v1beta1`, and renamed to `custom.metrics.k8s.io` and `metrics.k8s.io`, respectively. If you have deployed a custom metrics adapter, ensure that it supports the new API version. If you have deployed Heapster in aggregated API server mode, upgrade Heapster...

- Improved misleading message, in case of no metrics received for the `HPA` controlled pods. ([#114740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114740), [@kushagra98](https://github.com/kushagra98))
- Introduced new metrics removing the redundant subsystem in kube-apiserver pod logs metrics and deprecate the original ones:
