- Kubeadm: get k8s CI version markers from k8s infra bucket ([#98836](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98836), [@hasheddan](https://github.com/hasheddan)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Release]

 - The metric `storage_operation_errors_total` is not removed, but is marked deprecated, and the metric `storage_operation_status_count` is marked deprecated. In both cases the `storage_operation_duration_seconds` metric can be used to recover equivalent counts (using `status=fail-unknown` in the case of `storage_operations_errors_total`).

- kube-proxy metrics are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level. ([#81626](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81626), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

- etcd version monitor metrics are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level. ([#83283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83283), [@RainbowMango](https://github.com/RainbowMango))
- Change `pod_preemption_victims` metric from Gauge to Histogram. ([#83603](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83603), [@Tabrizian](https://github.com/Tabrizian))
- Following metrics from kubelet are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level:

* Fix typos and update wording in deployment docs. PR [#700](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/700) by [@marier-nico](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/700).
* Add note about dependencies in `APIRouter` docs. PR [#698](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/698) by [@marier-nico](https://github.com/marier-nico).

DockerValidor and ServiceCheck for the `docker` service from kubeadm preflight. Docker is no longer special cased during host validation and ideally this task should be done in the now external cri-dockerd project where the importance of the compatibility matters. Use `crictl` for all communication with CRI sockets for actions like pulling images and obtaining a list of running containers instead of using the docker CLI in the case of Docker.

*   Added the concurrent service sync flag to the Cloud Controller Manager to allow changing the number of workers. (`--concurrent-service-syncs`) ([#55561](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55561),[...

- Added '--concurrent-cron-job-syncs' flag for `kube-controller-manager` to set the number of workers for cron job controller. ([#117550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117550), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli))
- Added '--concurrent-job-syncs' flag for `kube-controller-manager` to set the number of job controller workers. ([#117138](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117138), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k))

- Fixed a data race in kubelet image manager that can cause static pod workers to silently stop working. ([#88915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88915), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG Node]
