Additionally, these Kubernetes snapshot primitives act as basic building blocks that unlock the ability to develop advanced, enterprise-grade, storage administration features for Kubernetes: including application or cluster level backup solutions.

- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits. ([#112399](https://github.com/kubernetes/k...

  - **[beta]** The Docker-CRI implementation is enabled by default in kubelet.
    You can disable it by --enable-cri=false. See
    [notes on the new implementation](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/container-runtime-interface.md#kubernetes-v16-release-docker-cri-integration-beta)
    for more details.
  - **[alpha]** Alpha support for other runtimes:

- Kube-controller-manager: increased the global level for broadcaster's logging to 3 so that users can ignore event messages by lowering the logging level. It reduces information noise. ([#122293](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122293), [@mengjiao-liu](https://github.com/mengjiao-liu))

Pruning requires that CRD developer provides complete, structural validation schemas, either at the top-level or for all versions of the CRD.

#### CustomResourceDefinition Defaulting

  - Expanded support for federated hybrid-cloud resources including ReplicaSets, Secrets, Namespaces and Events.
- **Security**
  - Increased pod-level security granularity (eg: Container Image Policies, AppArmor and `sysctl` support)
  - Increased cluster-level security granularity (eg: Access Review API)

## Features

requirements. This allows the CRI runtime developers to verify that their runtime conforms to CRI, without needing to set up Kubernetes components or run Kubernetes end-to-end tests. ([docs](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/cri-validation.md) and [release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-tools/releases/tag/v0.1)) ([kubernetes/features#292](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/292))

* [alpha] Adds support of container...

  to borrow a number of seats from other priority level(s). As a cluster operator, you can enable borrowing
  for a certain priority level configuration object via the two newly introduced fields `lendablePercent`, and
  `borrowingLimitPercent` located under the `.spec.limited` field of the designated priority level.
  This change added the following metrics:

* Revert "Wait for arc.getArchive() to complete before running tests" ([#27130](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27130), [@pwittrock](https://github.com/pwittrock))
* ResourceQuota BestEffort scope aligned with Pod level QoS ([#26969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26969), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

* Increased verbose level for local openapi aggregation logs to avoid flooding the log during normal operation ([#75781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75781), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))
