### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

- Fixed a bug that a pod's .status.nominatedNodeName is not cleared properly, and thus over-occupied system resources. ([#107109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107109), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Fixed a bug that a pod's `.status.nominatedNodeName` is not cleared properly, and thus over-occupied system resources. ([#106816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106816), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

- RemoteCommand feature gates for kubectl exec, cp, and attach over WebSockets are now enabled by default (Beta):
  - Server-side feature gate: `TranslateStreamCloseWebsocketRequests`
  - Client-side (kubectl) feature gate: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS`

- CPU limits are now respected for Windows containers. If a node is over-provisioned, no weighting is used - only limits are respected. ([#86101](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86101), [@PatrickLang](https://github.com/PatrickLang)) [SIG Node, Testing and Windows]

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_high_watermark`: High watermark, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats

Certificate management has become more robust in 1.15, with kubeadm now seamlessly rotating all your certificates (on upgrades) before they expire. Check the [kubeadm documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/dev...

### **Cluster Federation**
#### Placement Policy
* [alpha] The federation-apiserver now supports a SchedulingPolicy admission controller that enables policy-based control over placement of federated resources.
