- Added support for tracing in `kubectl` with the `--profile=trace` flag. ([#134709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134709), [@tchap](https://github.com/tchap))

- `kubeproxy_conntrack_reconciler_deleted_entries_total` metric can be used to track cumulative sum of conntrack flows cleared by reconciler. ([#130204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130204), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman))

  - `resourceclaim_controller_creates_total` count metric with labels `admin_access` (true or false), `status` (failure or success) to track the total number of `ResourceClaims` creation requests

- Fixed a bug where hard evictions due to resource pressure allowed pods
  to use the full termination grace period instead of shutting down instantly. 
  This bug also affected force deleted pods. Both cases now receive a termination grace period of 1 second. ([#124063](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124063), [@olyazavr](https://github.com/olyazavr))
