- Added `kubelet_container_log_size_bytes` metric representing the log file size of a container. ([#70749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70749), [@brancz](https://github.com/brancz))

- EmptyDir memory backed volumes are sized as the minimum of pod allocatable memory on a host and an optional explicit user provided value. ([#100319](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100319), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr)) [SIG Node]

*   [beta] Flag `--chunk-size={SIZE}` is added to `kubectl get` to customize the number of results returned in large lists of resources. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters because the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly....

* increase grpc client default response size ([#63977](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63977), [@runcom](https://github.com/runcom))
* Increase the gRPC max message size to 16MB in the remote container runtime. ([#64672](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64672), [@mcluseau](https://github.com/mcluseau))

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

- Kube-apiserver metrics will now include request counts, latencies, and response sizes for /healthz, /livez, and /readyz requests. ([#83598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83598), [@jktomer](https://github.com/jktomer)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Replaced `apiserver_storage_db_total_size_in_bytes` with `apiserver_storage_size_bytes` metric. ([#118812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118812), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

  1. When configuring a dual-stack cluster, the user must specify both `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` and `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6` to set the per-node IP mask sizes, instead of the previous `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag.
  2. The `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag is mutually exclusive with `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` and `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6`.

- The new flag `--chunk-size=SIZE` for `kubectl drain` has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This flag  may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when `0` is passed. ([#100148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100148), [@KnVerey](https://github.com/KnVerey))

- The HugePageStorageMediumSize feature gate is now on by default allowing usage of multiple sizes huge page resources on a container level. ([#90592](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90592), [@bart0sh](https://github.com/bart0sh)) [SIG Node]
