  - If the custom resource participates the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change, except for the changes to the metadata or the changes to the status.
  - If the custom resource does not participate the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change to the CR, except for changes to the metadata.

  
  - `rest_client_transport_cache_entries` is a gauge metric
  with the number of existing entries in the internal cache
  
  - `rest_client_transport_create_calls_total` is a counter
  that increments each time a new transport is created, storing
  the result of the operation needed to generate it: hit, miss
  or uncacheable. ([#117295](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117295), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

### SIG Cluster Lifecycle

SIG Cluster Lifecycle focused on improving kubeadm’s user experience by including a set of new commands related to maintaining the kubeadm configuration file, the API version of which has now has been incremented to `v1alpha2`. These commands can handle the migration of the configuration to a newer version, printing the default configuration, and listing and pulling the required container images for bootstrapping a cluster.

- EndpointSlice generation is now incremented when labels change. ([#99750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99750), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Network]
