*   [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. Pass 0 to disable this feature.([#53768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53768),[ @smarterclayton](htt...

* Pass cluster_location argument to Heapster ([#65176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65176), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
* fixes a memory leak in the kube-controller-manager observed when large numbers of pods with tolerations are created/deleted ([#65339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65339), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* fix get azure accounts timeout issue when there is no out-bound IP ([#74191](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74191), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* kubelet: resolved hang/timeout issues when running large numbers of pods with unique configmap/secret references ([#74755](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74755), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Audit logs might impact the API server performance and the latency of large request and response calls. The issue is observed under the following conditions: if `AdvancedAuditing` feature gate is enabled, which is the default case, if audit logging uses the log backend in JSON format, or if the audit policy records large API calls for requests or responses.

### Other notable changes

* Fix aggressive VM calls for Azure VMSS ([#83102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83102), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
