- Revised `OpenAPI v2` fetching for CustomResourceDefinitions. CRDs are now aggregated lazily,
  which improves resource usage during installation of many CRDs. As a result, the first request
  to fetch the OpenAPI may be slower. ([#118808](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118808), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree))

- Don't prematurely close reflectors in case of slow initialization in watch based manager to fix issues with inability to properly mount secrets/configmaps. ([#104604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104604), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Enhanced the daemonset sync logic to avoid a problem where pods are thought to be unavailable when the controller's clock is slower than the node's clock. ([#77208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77208), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))

  For more information, see [#56357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56357).

*   Audit logging is slow because writes to the log are performed synchronously with requests to the log. This issue will be fixed in a future release.

  For more information, see [#53006](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53006).

- Make / build: fix docker IP address detection ([#135576](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135576), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder)) [SIG Release and Testing]

may occasionally increase the size of the cluster a bit more than it is actually needed, when there are
unschedulable pods, scale up is required and cloud provider is slow to set up networking for new nodes.
Anyway, the cluster should get back to the proper size after 10 min.
