- The DownwardAPIHugePages feature is beta.  Users may use the feature if all workers in their cluster are min 1.20 version.  The feature will be enabled by default in all installations in 1.22.

- Flag `--concurrent-node-syncs` has been added to cloud node controller which defines how many workers in parallel will be initialising and synchronising nodes. ([#113104](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113104), [@pawbana](https://github.com/pawbana)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Scalability]

- Added `--concurrent-daemonset-syncs` command line flag to kube-controller-manager. This value sets the number of workers for the daemonset controller. ([#128444](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128444), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k))

- The `kube-controller-manager` supports `--concurrent-ephemeralvolume-syncs` flag to set the number of ephemeral volume controller workers. ([#102981](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102981), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

- Fixed a data race in kubelet image manager that can cause static pod workers to silently stop working. ([#88915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88915), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG Node]
