- 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...

### 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. ([#64598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64598), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))



# v1.11.0

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io)

### Documentation

- Enhanced clarity in error messaging when waiting for volume creation ([#118262](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118262), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

### Failing Test

- Static pods were taking extra time to be restarted after being updated.  Static pods that are waiting to restart were not correctly counted in `kubelet_working_pods`. ([#116995](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116995), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node]

- Added apiserver.latency.k8s.io/apf-queue-wait annotation to the audit log
  to record the time spent waiting in APF queue. ([#123919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123919), [@hakuna-matatah](https://github.com/hakuna-matatah))

   The `read_vs_write_current_requests` metric histogram is adjusted, in the case of using API Priority and Fairness instead of max-in-flight, to divide by the relevant limit: sum of queue capacities for waiting requests, sum of seat limits for executing requests.

    - Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to
      merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any *usable*
      endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating
      endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints
      were not being used.
  
    - Chains for endpoints that won't be used are no longer output to
