- The scheduler's metric `plugin_execution_duration_seconds` now records `PreEnqueue` plugins execution seconds. ([#116201](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116201), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats`: Nominal number of execution seats configured for each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_lower_limit_seats`: Configured lower bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_upper_limit_seats`: Configured upper bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level

    - `scheduler_async_api_call_execution_total`: tracks executed API calls by call type and result (success/error)
    - `scheduler_async_api_call_duration_seconds`: histogram of API call execution duration by call type and result

- `StartupProbe` is stopped explicity when `successThrethold` is reached. 
  This eliminates the problem that `StartupProbe` is executed more than `successThrethold`. ([#121206](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121206), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Node]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#88678](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88678), [@verult](https://github.com/verult)) [SIG Storage]

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89239](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89239), [@verult](https://github.com/verult)) [SIG Apps, Node and Storage]

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89241), [@verult](https://github.com/verult)) [SIG Apps, Node and Storage]

- Added `--concurrency` flag to configure the concurrency of `kubectl diff` execution, defaults to 1. ([#118810](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118810), [@brancz](https://github.com/brancz))

- Added a new `--init-only` command line flag to `kube-proxy`. Setting the flag makes `kube-proxy` perform its initial configuration that requires privileged mode, and then exit. The `--init-only` mode is intended to be executed in a privileged init container, so that the main container may run with a stricter `securityContext`.
