exposes a second, independent pruning alpha powered by a new standard named `ApplySets`. An `ApplySet` is a server-side object (by default, a Secret; ConfigMaps are also allowed) that kubectl can use to accurately and efficiently track set membership across `apply` operations. The format used for `ApplySet` is set out in  [KEP 3659](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3659) as a low-level specification.  Other tools in the ecosystem can also build on this specification for improved interoperability....

Federated Jobs that are automatically deployed to multiple clusters
are now supported. Cluster selection and weighting determine how Job
parallelism and completions are spread across clusters. Federated Job
status reflects the aggregate status across all underlying cluster
jobs.

#### [alpha] Federated Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA)

Federated HPAs are similar to the traditional Kubernetes HPAs, except
