#### Continuous Improvement
- Project sustainability is not just about features. Many SIGs have been working on  improving test coverage, ensuring the basics stay reliable, and stability of the core feature set and working on maturing existing features and cleaning up the backlog.

#### Extensibility

* Fixed an issue where Portworx volume driver wasn't passing namespace and annotations to the Portworx Create API. ([#59607](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59607), [@harsh-px](https://github.com/harsh-px))
* Use a more reliable way to get total physical memory on windows nodes ([#57124](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57124), [@JiangtianLi](https://github.com/JiangtianLi))

    *   reflector_short_watches_total
    *   reflector_watch_duration_seconds
    *   reflector_watches_total
    * While this is a backwards-incompatible change, it would have been impossible to setup reliable monitoring around these metrics since the labels were not stable.

    *   reflector_watches_total
    * While this is a backwards-incompatible change, it would have been impossible to setup reliable monitoring around these metrics since the labels were not stable. 
* Fix keymutex issues which may crash in some platforms. ([#74386](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74386), [@danielqsj](https://github.com/danielqsj))

    * kubeadm - Update generated etcd peer certificate to include localhost addresses for the default configuration.
    * kubeadm - Increase the manifest update timeout to make upgrades a bit more reliable.
* Kubernetes depends on v0.30.1 of cAdvisor ([#64987](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64987), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
