### Failing Test

- Deflaked a preemption test that may patch Nodes incorrectly. ([#114350](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114350), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

### Feature

- Kubernetes is now built with Golang 1.16.9 (#105672, @cpanato) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Release and Testing]

### Failing Test

- Backport: e2e.test now uses the secure port to retrieve metrics data to ensure compatibility with 1.21 and 1.22 (for upgrade tests) (#104328, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation, Storage and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Aggregate errors when putting vmss

- Replaced deprecated package `k8s.io/utils/pointer` with `k8s.io/utils/ptr` for ./test/e2e and ./test/utils. ([#132763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132763), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG Autoscaling and Testing]

### Failing Test

- Resolves an issue running Ingress conformance tests on clusters which use finalizers on Ingress objects to manage releasing load balancer resources ([#96742](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96742), [@spencerhance](https://github.com/spencerhance)) [SIG Network and Testing]

* Conformance tests may now include disruptive tests. If you are running tests against a live cluster, consider skipping those tests tagged as `Disruptive` to avoid non-test workloads being impacted. Be aware, skipping any conformance tests (even disruptive ones) will make the results ineligible for consideration for the CNCF Certified Kubernetes program. ([#82664](https://g...

- e2e tests that require SSH may now be used against clusters that have nodes without external IP addresses by setting the environment variable `KUBE_SSH_BASTION` to the `host:port` of a machine that is allowed to SSH to those nodes.  The same private key that the test would use is used for the bastion host.  The test connects to the bastion and then tunnels another SSH connection to the node. ([#72286](https:...

### Failing Test

- Added mock framework support for unit tests for Windows in `kubeproxy`. ([#120105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120105), [@princepereira](https://github.com/princepereira))

- The conformance tests:
  - Services should serve multiport endpoints from pods
  - Services should serve a basic endpoint from pods
  were only validating the API objects, not performing any validation on the actual Services implementation.

### SIG Scalability

SIG Scalability has mostly focused on stability and deflaking our tests, investing into framework for writing scalability tests (ClusterLoader v2) with a goal to migrate all tests to it by the end of 2018 and on the work towards extending definition of Kubernetes scalability by providing more/better user-friendly SLIs/SLOs.
