The CustomCFSQuotaPeriod alpha feature enables node administrators to change the default period used to enforce CFS quota on a node.  This can improve performance for some workloads that experience latency while using CFS quota with the default measurement period.  Finally, the SIG continues to focus on improving reliability by fixing bugs while working out design and implementation of future features.

* kubelet initial flag parse now normalizes flags instead of exiting.  ([#61053](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61053), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

* Fixed regression where kubelet --cpu-cfs-quota flag did not work when --cgroups-per-qos was enabled ([#61294](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61294), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

- Fixed a potential deadlock in the resource quota controller. Enabled recording partial usage info for quota objects specifying multiple resources, when only some of the resources' usage can be determined. ([#74747](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74747), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### API Change

- 1. PodAffinityTerm includes a namespaceSelector field to allow selecting eligible namespaces based on their labels. 

* Azure cloudprovider: Reduce the polling delay for all azure clients to 5 seconds. This should speed up some operations at the cost of some additional quota. ([#43699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43699), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))
