scalability testing in a continuous integration (CI) environment. The SIG
defined a concrete process for scalability testing, created
documentation for the current scalability thresholds, and defined a new set of
Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for the system.
Here's the release [scalability validation report].

provided. The metric `serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total` can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting `kube-apiserver` with `--service-account-extend-token-expiration=false`.

- Truncates a message if it hits the NoteLengthLimit when the scheduler records an event for the pod that indicates the pod has failed to schedule. ([#98715](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98715), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Added a new label `type` to `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_execution_seconds` metric - it has the following values: - 'regular': indicates that it is a non long running request - 'watch': indicates that it is a watch request. ([#105517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105517), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

- `MergeDefaultEvictionSettings` indicates that defaults for the evictionHard, evictionSoft, evictionSoftGracePeriod, and evictionMinimumReclaim fields should be merged into values specified for those fields in this configuration. Signals specified in this configuration take precedence. Signals...

### Autoscaling

- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling can now scale targets up even when one or more metrics are invalid/unavailable, as long as one metric indicates a scale up should occur. ([#78503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78503), [@gjtempleton](https://github.com/gjtempleton))


### AWS

- Kubemark: added two flags, `--kube-api-qps` which indicates the maximum QPS to the apiserver, and `--kube-api-burst` which indicates maximum burst for throttle to the apiserver. ([#124147](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124147), [@devincd](https://github.com/devincd))

- The `rejected` label in `apiserver_admission_webhook_admission_duration_seconds` metrics now properly indicates if the request was rejected. ([#81399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81399), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))

A link of the form [<a href="#Language_versions">Go 1.xx</a>] indicates that a described
language feature (or some aspect of it) was changed or added with language version 1.xx and
thus requires at minimum that language version to build.
