- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases.

- kubeadm: fix "certificate-authority" files not being pre-loaded when using file discovery ([#80966](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80966), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Kube-apiserver: the `--encryption-provider-config` file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior....

        functional control flow op lowering optimization. This is useful when
        executing within a portable runtime where control flow op kernels may
        not be loaded due to selective registration.
    *   Add a new experimental argument `experimental_is_anonymous` to
        `tf.lookup.StaticHashTable.__init__` to create the table in anonymous

- `RunAsGroup` which has been broken since 1.10, now works. ([#65926](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65926), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
- The systemd config files are now reloaded before kubelet starts, so changes can take effect([#65702](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65702), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

* Added InterPodAffinity unit test case with Namespace. ([#45152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45152), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
