### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Improve error message when a pod with user namespaces is created and the runtime doesn't support user namespaces. ([#131783](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131783), [@rata](https://github.com/rata)) [SIG Node]

## Dependencies

### Added

- Fixed clearing of rate-limiter for the queue of checks for cleaning stale pod disruption conditions. The bug could result in the PDB synchronization updates firing too often or the pod disruption cleanups taking too long to happen. ([#114770](https://github.com/kubernet...

### **Instrumentation**

#### **Audit**

*   Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- Fixed a bug that caused a DaemonSet rolling update to hang when its pod gets stuck at terminating.  ([#77773](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77773), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))
- Route controller now respects rate limiting to the cloud provider on deletion; previously it was only for create. ([#78581](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78581), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))
