- Until this release, the iscsi plugin was waiting 10 seconds for a path to appear in the device list. However this timeout is not enough, or is less than the default device discovery timeout in most systems, which prevents certain devices from being discovered. This timeout has been raised to 30 seconds, which should help to avoid mount issues due to device discovery. ([#78475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78475),...

- The scheduler's metric `plugin_execution_duration_seconds` now records `PreEnqueue` plugins execution seconds. ([#116201](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116201), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

- Static pods will be deleted gracefully. ([#98103](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98103), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node]
- Truncates a message if it hits the NoteLengthLimit when the scheduler records an event for the pod that indicates the pod has failed to schedule. ([#98715](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98715), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Scheduling]

- The client label for apiserver_request_count and apiserver_request_total now no-opts and merely records an empty string. ([#87673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87673), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Scalability]
