#### Special notes for your reviewer:

  to its pre-1.27 behavior of tracking the total number of iptables rules that
  kube-proxy is responsible for, rather than only counting the number of rules
  that it re-synced on the last sync. The new `sync_proxy_rules_iptables_last`
  metric now gives the latter number. ([#119140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119140), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

count](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/554) feature was also moved to beta. This enables a volume plugin to specify the maximum number of a given volume type per node as a function of the node characteristics (for example, a larger limit for larger nodes, a smaller limit for smaller nodes).

SIG Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support...

- Adds a metric `apiserver_request_error_total` to kube-apiserver. This metric tallies the number of `request_errors` encountered by verb, group, version, resource, subresource, scope, component, and code. ([#83427](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83427), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

* Add apiserver metric for number of requests dropped because of inflight limit. ([#58340](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58340), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
