  - apiserver_flowcontrol_current_r: R(the time of the last change in state of the queues)
  - apiserver_flowcontrol_dispatch_r: R(the time of the latest request dispatch)
  - apiserver_flowcontrol_latest_s: S(the request last dispatched) = R(when that request starts executing in the virtual world)
  - apiserver_flowcontrol_next_s_bounds: min and max next S among non-empty queues

- Updated runc to 1.1.1 ([#109104](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109104), [@kolyshkin](https://github.com/kolyshkin))
- Updated the error message to not use the `--max-resource-write-bytes` & `--json-patch-max-copy-bytes` string. ([#106875](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106875), [@warmchang](https://github.com/warmchang))

- When the `RetryGenerateName` feature gate is enabled on the kube-apiserver,
  create requests using generateName are retried automatically by the apiserver when the generated name conflicts with an existing resource name, up to a max limit of 7 retries.
