### Serverside Apply - Beta 2

- Changed Linux swap handling to restrict access to swap for containers in high priority Pods.
  New Pods that have a node- or cluster-critical priority are prohibited from accessing swap on Linux,

- Reduce critical section in watchcache to fix kube-apiserver scalability under heavy load of list requests ([#122027](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122027), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

 - CallEnd
        
### Conditional Cache Hit
 
When cache flags require checking the cache results are still valid an early cacheConditionalHit event is
received followed by a cache hit or miss.  Critically in the cache hit scenario the server won’t send the response body.

The response will have non-null `cacheResponse` and `networkResponse`. The cacheResponse will be used as the top level
