- Kubelet: improve the performance when waiting for a synchronization of the node list with the kube-apiserver ([#99336](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99336), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Node]

## Dependencies

### Added

- ScaleIO volumes can now be provisioned without having to first manually...

- 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))

### Storage

- Fixed issue with kubelet waiting on invalid devicepath on AWS ([#78595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78595), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* Fixed issue 63608, which is that under rare circumstances the ResourceQuota admission controller could lose track of an request in progress and time out after waiting 10 seconds for a decision to be made.

* remove time waiting after create storage account (save 25s) ([#56679](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56679), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

*   Problems deleting local static pods have been resolved....
