- Added `--disable-compression` flag to `kubectl` (default = false). When true, it opts out of response compression for all requests to the `apiserver`. This can help improve list call latencies significantly when client-server network bandwidth is ample (>30MB/s) or if the server is CPU-constrained. ([#112580](http...

* Kubernetes now supports transparent compression of API responses. Clients that send `Accept-Encoding: gzip` will now receive a GZIP compressed response body if the API call was larger than 128KB.  Go clients automatically request gzip-encoding by default and should see reduced transfer times for very large API requests.  Clients in other languages may need to make changes to benefit from compression. ([#77449](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77449), [...

### Bug or Regression

- Kube-apiserver: added support for compressing rotated audit log files with `--audit-log-compress` ([#94066](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94066), [@lojies](https://github.com/lojies)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

    * An example command:
    * kubectl get pods --use-openapi-print-columns
* add gzip compression to GET and LIST requests ([#45666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45666), [@ilackarms](https://github.com/ilackarms))
