  - Migrate `pkg/kubelet/(dockershim, network)` to structured logging
  Exit code changed from 255 to 1 ([#98939](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98939), [@yangjunmyfm192085](https://github.com/yangjunmyfm192085)) [SIG Network and Node]
  - Migrate `pkg/kubelet/certificate` to structured logging

- 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. ([#112400](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112400), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fix: After a Node is down and take some time to get back to up again, the mount point of the evicted Pods cannot be cleaned up successfully. (#111933) Meanwhile Kubelet will print the log `Orphaned pod "xxx" found, but error not a directory occurred when trying to remove the volumes dir` every 2 seconds.

- Fix a bug where kube-apiserver could emit an further watch even even if decryption failed for earlier event and it was not emitted. ([#131159](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131159), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Etcd]
