- The EndpointSlice controller now waits for EndpointSlice and Node caches to be synced before starting. ([#94086](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94086), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- Fixed a regression that could incorrectly reject pods with `OutOfCpu` errors if they were rapidly scheduled after other pods were reported as complete in the API. The Kubelet now waits to report the phase of a pod as terminal in the API until all running containers are guaranteed to have stopped and no new containers can be started.  Short-lived pods may take slightly longer (~1s) to report Succeeded or Failed after this change....

- EndpointSlice controller waits longer to retry failed sync. ([#89438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89438), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

  2. if there's a transient error happened during "provisioning/deletion", i.e., a volume is still in-use while a deleteVolume has been called, original `storage_operation_duration_seconds` will NOT wait until a volume has been finally deleted before reporting an inaccurate...

#### **Audit**

* `kubectl wait` is a new command that allows waiting for one or more resources to be deleted or to reach a specific condition. It adds a `kubectl wait --for=[delete|condition=condition-name] resource/string` command. ([#64034](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64034), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

- The `wait.Poll*` and `wait.ExponentialBackoff*` functions have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  Callers should switch to using `wait.PollUntilContextCancel`, `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout`, or `wait.ExponentialBackoffWithContext` as appropriate.
  

- Added ability for `kubectl wait` to wait on arbitary JSON path ([#105776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105776), [@lauchokyip](https://github.com/lauchokyip))
