- Introduced new apiserver metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats`. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests`, but tracks the total number of seats, as each request can take more than one seat. ([#119385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119385), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Scheduler now waits for handlers to finish syncing before the scheduling cycles start. ([#116729](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116729), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

- Added a `source` label to the `resourceclaim_controller_resource_claims` metric.
  Added the `scheduler_resourceclaim_creates_total` metric for `DRAExtendedResource`. ([#134523](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134523), [@bitoku](https://github.com/bitoku)) [SIG Apps, Instrumentation, Node and Scheduling]

- A new kubelet metric `image_pull_duration_seconds` was added. The metric tracks the duration (in seconds) it takes for an image to be pulled, including the time spent in the waiting queue of image puller. The metric is broken down by bucketed image size. ([#121719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121719), [@ruiwen-zhao](https://github.com/ruiwen-zhao))

  
  - `apiserver_authentication_config_controller_last_config_info` metric after successfully loading the authentication configuration file.
  - `apiserver_authorization_config_controller_last_config_info` metric after successfully loading the authorization configuration file.

- The nftables kube-proxy mode now has its own metrics rather than reporting
  metrics with "iptables" in their names. ([#124557](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124557), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network and Windows]

- Removed the deprecated `pod_scheduling_duration_seconds` metric. Users need to
  migrate to `pod_scheduling_sli_duration_seconds`. ([#128906](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128906), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]

- Included an additional resource labeltransformation in on_operations_total metric which could be used for resource specific validations for example handling of encryption config by the apiserver. ([#126512](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126512), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Etcd and Testing]
