enabled, you can create Services which can use IPv4, IPv6, or both, and you can change this setting for existing Services. Details are available in updated [IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack docs](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/services-networking/dual-stack/), which cover the nuanced array of options.

We expect this implementation to progress from alpha to beta and GA in coming releases, so we’re eager to have you comment about your dual-stack experiences in [#k8s-dual-stack](https://kubernetes.slack.c...

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_high_watermark`: High watermark, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats

- RemoteCommand feature gates for kubectl exec, cp, and attach over WebSockets are now enabled by default (Beta):
  - Server-side feature gate: `TranslateStreamCloseWebsocketRequests`
  - Client-side (kubectl) feature gate: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS`

### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

### **Cluster Federation**
