The array underlying a slice may extend past the end of the slice.
The <i>capacity</i> is a measure of that extent: it is the sum of
the length of the slice and the length of the array beyond the slice;
a slice of length up to that capacity can be created by

The capacity of a slice <code>a</code> can be discovered using the

- Kube-proxy iptables probabilities are now more granular and will result in better distribution beyond 319 endpoints. ([#83599](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83599), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

* kubelet `--cert-dir` now defaults to `/var/lib/kubelet/pki`, in order to ensure bootstrapped and rotated certificates persist beyond a reboot. resolves an issue in kubeadm with false-positive `/var/lib/kubelet is not empty` message during pre-flight checks ([#53317](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53317), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Instrumentation

- Troubleshooting: informers log handlers that take more than 100 milliseconds to process an object if the `DeltaFIFO` queue starts to grow beyond 10 elements. ([#103917](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103917), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
