- The metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_executing_seats` has been introduced as a duplicate of `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_in_use` because the latter has a confusing name and will be removed in a later release.

- The metadata.clusterName field is deprecated. This field has always been unwritable and always blank, but its presence is confusing, so we will remove it next release.

### Autoscaling

 - Consuming metrics directly from Heapster is deprecated in favor of
   consuming metrics via an aggregated version of the resource metrics API.

   - In version 1.8, enable this behavior by setting the
     `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients` flag to `true`.

- Fixed a 1.32 regression kube-proxy, when using a Service with External or LoadBalancer IPs on UDP services , was consuming a large amount of CPU because it was not filtering by the Service destination port and trying to delete all the UDP entries associated to the service. ([#130484](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130484), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))...

- Add Kubernetes Events to the `Kubelet Graceful Shutdown` feature. ([#1010...

- Deprecated the `apiserver_request_slo_duration_seconds` metric for v1.27 in favor of `apiserver_request_sli_duration_seconds` for naming consistency purposes with other SLI-specific metrics and to avoid any confusion between SLOs and SLIs.
