* Emit number of bound and unbound persistent volumes as Metrics. This PR adds four kinds of Volume Metrics for kube-controller-manager: bound PVC numbers, unbound PVC numbers, bound PV numbers and unbound PV numbers. The PVC metrics use namespace as dimension and the PV metrics use StorageClassName as its dimension. With these metrics we can better monitor the...

- Fixed the issue where pod with ordinal number lower than the rolling partitioning number was being deleted it was coming up with updated image. ([#120731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120731), [@adilGhaffarDev](https://github.com/adilGhaffarDev)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

    - `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

- Adds a metric `apiserver_request_error_total` to kube-apiserver. This metric tallies the number of `request_errors` encountered by verb, group, version, resource, subresource, scope, component, and code.

count](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/554) feature was also moved to beta. This enables a volume plugin to specify the maximum number of a given volume type per node as a function of the node characteristics (for example, a larger limit for larger nodes, a smaller limit for smaller nodes).

SIG Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support...

## Changelog since v1.9.10

### Action Required

  to its pre-1.27 behavior of tracking the total number of iptables rules that
  kube-proxy is responsible for, rather than only counting the number of rules
  that it re-synced on the last sync. The new `sync_proxy_rules_iptables_last`
  metric now gives the latter number. ([#119140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119140), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

- The `apiserver` exposes 4 new metrics that allow to track the status of the Service CIDRs allocations:
      - current number of available IPs per Service CIDR
      - current number of used IPs per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation errors per ServiceCIDR ([#104119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104119), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Kubelet: Fix repeatedly acquiring the inhibit lock ([#98088](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98088), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Node]
- Kubelet: Fixed the bug of getting the number of cpu when the number of cpu logical processors is more than 64 in windows ([#97378](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97378), [@hwdef](https://github.com/hwdef)) [SIG Node and Windows]

- Fixed the issue where pod with ordinal number lower than the rolling partitioning number was being deleted. It was coming up with updated image. ([#120731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120731), [@adilGhaffarDev](https://github.com/adilGhaffarDev))
