- Added a new label `type` to `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_execution_seconds` metric - it has the following values: - 'regular': indicates that it is a non long running request - 'watch': indicates that it is a watch request. ([#105517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105517), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

### Autoscaling

- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling can now scale targets up even when one or more metrics are invalid/unavailable, as long as one metric indicates a scale up should occur. ([#78503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78503), [@gjtempleton](https://github.com/gjtempleton))


### AWS

*   Added `index_to_string_table` which returns a lookup table that maps indices
    to strings.
*   Add `string_to_index_table`, which returns a lookup table that matches
    strings to indices.
*   Add a `ParallelForWithWorkerId` function.
*   Add `string_to_index_table`, which returns a lookup table that matches
    strings to indices.
*   Support restore session from checkpoint files in v2 in

- The `rejected` label in `apiserver_admission_webhook_admission_duration_seconds` metrics now properly indicates if the request was rejected. ([#81399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81399), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))

- Truncates a message if it hits the NoteLengthLimit when the scheduler records an event for the pod that indicates the pod has failed to schedule. ([#98715](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98715), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Kubemark: added two flags, `--kube-api-qps` which indicates the maximum QPS to the apiserver, and `--kube-api-burst` which indicates maximum burst for throttle to the apiserver. ([#124147](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124147), [@devincd](https://github.com/devincd))

<a href="#Representability">representable</a> by a value of type
<code>int</code>; for arrays or constant strings, constant indices must also be in range.
If both indices are constant, they must satisfy <code>low &lt;= high</code>.
If the indices are out of range at run time, a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a> occurs.

This setting enables a pod to specify a `PodFSGroupChangePolicy` that indicates that volume ownership and permissions will be changed only when permission and ownership of the root directory do not match with expected permissions on the volume.

### CSIDriver policy for FSGroup graduates to Beta

- Introduction of the `DisruptionTarget` pod condition type. Its `reason` field indicates the reason for pod termination:
  - PreemptionByKubeScheduler (Pod preempted by kube-scheduler)
  - DeletionByTaintManager (Pod deleted by taint manager due to NoExecute taint)

- Kube-apiserver: fix a possible panic validating a custom resource whose CustomResourceDefinition indicates a status subresource exists, but which does not define a `status` property in the `openAPIV3Schema` ([#135363](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135363), [@fusida](https://github.com/fusida)) [SIG API Machinery]
