- Improved performance of `Endpoint` and `EndpointSlice` controllers when there are a large number of services in a single namespace by making pod-to-service lookup asynchronous.

### Scheduling

- Improved fairness of the scheduling queue by placing pods which are attempted recently behind other pods with the same priority. ([#73700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73700), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

        return queryHelper.build(SearchRequestType.SEARCH, query, context -> {
            context.skipRoleQuery();
        });
    }

    // Additional test methods for improved coverage

    @Test
    public void test_getSortPrefix() {
        assertEquals("sort:", queryHelper.getSortPrefix());
    }

    @Test
    public void test_setSortPrefix() {

- HPA: Improved scaling to and from zero with enabled HPAScaleToZero feature gate. ([#135118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135118), [@johanneswuerbach](https://github.com/johanneswuerbach)) [SIG Apps, Autoscaling and Testing]

## Major Themes

- StatefulSets (ex-PetSets)
  - StatefulSets are beta now (fixes and stabilization)
- Improved Federation Support
  - New command: `kubefed`
  - DaemonSets
  - Deployments
  - ConfigMaps
- Simplified Cluster Deployment
  - Improvements to `kubeadm`
  - HA Setup for Master

- Improved scheduling performance when many nodes, and prefilter returned 1-2 nodes (e.g. daemonset)
