* We change the default attach_detach_controller sync period to 1 minute to reduce the query frequency through cloud provider to check whether volumes are attached or not.  ([#41363](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41363), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

    * Disable the metadata agent for monitored resource construction in logging.
    * Disable timestamp adjustment in logs to optimize performance.
    * Reduce logging agent buffer chunk limit to 512k to optimize performance.

* New flag --endpoint-updates-batch-period in kube-controller-manager can be used to reduce number of endpoints updates generated by pod changes. ([#80509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80509), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

- Reduced GCE log rotation check from 1 hour to every 5 minutes.  Rotation policy is unchanged (new day starts, log file size > 100MB). ([#72062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72062), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

### Network

- Scheduler volumebinding: leveraged `PreFilterResult` to reduce down to only
  eligible node(s) for pod with bound claim(s) to local `PersistentVolume(s)` ([#109877](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109877), [@yibozhuang](https://github.com/yibozhuang))

- Add flag --lease-reuse-duration-seconds for kube-apiserver to config etcd lease reuse duration. ([#97009](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97009), [@lingsamuel](https://github.com/lingsamuel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

* Add /bin/tee symlink to bazel build for busybox, so that CI builds have /bin/tee ([#55417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55417), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
* Reduce log noise produced by prometheus-to-sd, by bumping it to version 0.2.2. ([#54635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54635), [@loburm](https://github.com/loburm))

- Services implemented a field selector for the ClusterIP and Type fields.
  The Kubelet uses this field selector to avoid monitoring Headless Services, which helps reduce memory consumption. ([#123905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123905), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
