- Fixed bug in CPUManager with race on container map access ([#97427](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97427), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node]

*   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),[ @jhorwit2](https://github.com/jhorwit2))

* Provide kubernetes-controller-manager flags to control volume attach/detach reconciler sync.  The duration of the syncs can be controlled, and the syncs can be shut off as well. ([#39551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39551), [@chrislovecnm](https://github.com/chrislovecnm))

   * Fix version on startup and `--version` flag

   * Support specifying port number for nameserver in stubDomains

#### kube-proxy
* Features:

  * ratelimit runs of iptables by sync-period flags ([#46266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46266), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

- In "large" clusters, kube-proxy in iptables mode will now sometimes
  leave unused rules in iptables for a while (up to `--iptables-sync-period`)
  before deleting them. This improves performance by not requiring it to
  check for stale rules on every sync. (In smaller clusters, it will still
  remove unused rules immediately once they are no longer used.)

  and `sync_partial_proxy_rules_duration_seconds` (in addition to the existing
  `sync_proxy_rules_duration_seconds`), to give better information about how long
  each sync type is taking, rather than only giving a weighted average of the two
  sync types together. ([#117787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117787), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

- GCE Internal LoadBalancer sync loop will now release the ILB IP address upon sync failure. An error in ILB forwarding rule creation will no longer leak IP addresses. ([#97740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97740), [@prameshj](https://github.com/prameshj)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Network]...

## Changelog since v1.8.9

### Other notable changes

* gce: fixes race condition in ServiceController, where nodes weren't updated in the node sync loop, by updating TargetPools in the ensureExternalLoadBalancer call. ([#58368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58368), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))

- Fix detach disk issue on deleting vmss node. ([#104572](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104572), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
- Fix job controller syncs: In case of conflicts, ensure that the sync happens with the most up to date information. Improves reliability of JobTrackingWithFinalizers. ([#105214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105214), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
