- Fixed a bug that a pod's .status.nominatedNodeName is not cleared properly, and thus over-occupied system resources. ([#107109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107109), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

* have basic kubectl crud agnostic of registered types ([#36085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36085), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* Fix how we iterate over active jobs when removing them for Replace policy ([#36161](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36161), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

- Fix kube-apiserver not to create default/kubernetes service endpoints before it reports readiness via the /healthz and therefore is ready to serve requests. Also early during startup old endpoints are remove which might be left over from a previously crashed kube-apiserver. ([#74668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74668), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

### **Cluster Federation**
#### Placement Policy
* [alpha] The federation-apiserver now supports a SchedulingPolicy admission controller that enables policy-based control over placement of federated resources. For more information, see [Set up placement policies in Federation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/federation/set-up-placement-policies-federation/).

#### Cluster Selection

* 'kubectl describe pv' now shows events ([#27431](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27431), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
* AWS kube-up: set net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1=0 to avoid ARP over-caching ([#27682](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27682), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))

- Added a one-time random duration of up to 50% of kubelet's `nodeStatusReportFrequency` to help spread the node status update load evenly over time. ([#128640](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128640), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))
