* `kubectl get` will by default fetch large lists of resources in chunks of up to 500 items rather than requesting all resources up front from the server. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters since the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly.  A new flag `--chunk-size=SIZE` may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when `0` is passed.  This is a beta feature. ([#53768](https://github.com/kubernet...

## Dependencies

- CustomResourceDefinition schemas that use `x-kubernetes-list-map-keys` to specify properties that uniquely identify list items must make those properties required or have a default value, to ensure those properties are present for all list items. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#merge-strategy for details.

- CRDs: For structural schemas, non-nullable null map fields will now be dropped and defaulted if a default is available. null items in the list will continue being preserved, and fail validation if not nullable.
