- Profiling can now be served on a unix-domain socket by using the `--profiling-path` option (when profiling is enabled) for security purposes. ([#114191](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114191), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler expose profiling by default to match the kube-apiserver.  Use `--profiling=false` to disable. ([#88663](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88663), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Scheduling]

- Profiling is enabled by default in the scheduler ([#84835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84835), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

* Fix comment and optimize code ([#38084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38084), [@tanshanshan](https://github.com/tanshanshan))
* Add flag to enable contention profiling in scheduler. ([#37357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37357), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))

- LoadBalancerIPMode feature was marked as GA. ([#127348](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127348), [@RyanAoh](https://github.com/RyanAoh)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]
- Locked the custom profiling feature in `kubectl debug` to true. ([#127187](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127187), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI and Testing]

[SIG Storage][] is responsible for storage and volume plugin components.

For the 1.8 release, SIG Storage extended the Kubernetes storage API. In addition to providing simple
volume availability, the API now enables volume resizing and snapshotting. These features are in alpha.
The SIG also focused on providing more control over storage: the ability to set requests and

- Added new k8s.io/component-helpers repository providing shared helper code for (core) components. ([#92507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92507), [@ingvagabund](https://github.com/ingvagabund)) [SIG Apps, Node, Release and Scheduling]

- Fixed bug where health check could pass while APIServices are missing from aggregated discovery. ([#122883](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122883), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree))

- Finished initial generic controlplane refactor of kube-apiserver, providing a sample binary building a Kubernetes-like control plane, but without container orchestration resources. ([#124530](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124530), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider,...

- Updated `kubectl describe pods` to include the involved object’s `fieldPath` (e.g., container name) in event messages, providing better context for debugging multi-container Pods. Note: This changes the previous message format for events that include a `fieldPath`.
