### Feature

- Kubeadm: generate CA certificates with a start time that is offset 5 minutes in the past relative to the current system time to workaround cases of clock desync.

- Adds two new metrics to cronjobs, a histogram to track the time difference when a job is created and the expected time when it should be created, as well as a gauge for the missed schedules of a cronjob ([#99341](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99341), [@alaypatel07](https://github.com/alaypatel07))

- Fix memory leak in kube-apiserver when underlying time goes forth and back. ([#96266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96266), [@chenyw1990](https://github.com/chenyw1990)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Added `apiserver.latency.k8s.io/authentication` annotation to the audit log to record the
  time spent authenticating slow requests. Also added `apiserver.latency.k8s.io/authorization`
  annotation to record the time spent authorizing slow requests. ([#130571](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130571), [@hakuna-matatah](https://github.com/hakuna-matatah))

* Services of type=LoadBalancer which have no endpoints will now immediately ICMP reject connections, rather than time out. ([#74394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74394), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

- Because of the implementation logic of `time.Format` in golang, the displayed time zone is not consistent. ([#102366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102366), [@cndoit18](https://github.com/cndoit18))

* fix incorrect error info when creating an azure file PVC failed ([#56550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56550), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
