- Resolved a performance regression in default 1.31+ configurations, related to the `ConsistentListFromCache` feature, where rapid create/update API requests across different namespaces encounter increased latency.

failures and now perform a more rigorous reconciliation to ensure static pods (especially those that use fixed UIDs) are restarted.  As a side effect of these changes static pods will be restarted with lower latency than before (2s vs 4s, on average) and rapid updates to pod configuration should take effect sooner.
  
  A new metric `kubelet_known_pods` has been added at ALPHA stability to report the number of pods a Kubelet is tracking in a number of internal states.  Operators may use the metrics...

### Bug or Regression

#### DaemonSet
* [beta] DaemonSet supports history and rollback. See [Performing a Rollback on a DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-daemon/rollback-daemon-set/).

* StatefulSet: Fix to fully preserve restart and termination order when StatefulSet is rapidly scaled up and down. ([#45113](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45113), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))
