- Switched certificate data replacement from "REDACTED" to "DATA+OMITTED" ([#66023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66023), [@ibrasho](https://github.com/ibrasho))
- Decrease the amount of time it takes to modify kubeconfig files with large amounts of contexts ([#67093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67093), [@juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))

- Expanded the partial fix for https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/111539
  which was already started in https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109706
  Specifically, we will now reduce the amount of syncs for `ETP=local` services even

- The 404 request handler for the GCE Ingress load balancer now exports prometheus metrics, including:

  - `http_404_request_total` (the number of 404 requests handled)
  - `http_404_request_duration_ms` (the amount of time the server took to respond in ms)

  Also includes percentile groupings. The directory for the default 404 handler includes instructions on how to enable prometheus for monitoring and setting alerts.

* Fixes issue where you could not mount NFS or glusterFS volumes using hostnames on GCI/GKE with COS images. ([#42376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42376), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))
* Reduce amount of noise in Stackdriver Logging, generated by the event-exporter component in the fluentd-gcp addon. ([#48712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48712), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

    * Function is linear between points. Resource utilization is defined as one minus ratio of total amount of resource requested by pods on node and node's capacity (scaled to 100).
    * Final utilization used for computation is arithmetic mean of cpu utilization and memory utilization.

and reserving nodes with special features for pods that need those features. We've also added a `NoExecute` taint type that evicts already-running pods, and an associated `tolerationSeconds` field to tolerations to delay the eviction for a specified amount of time. As before, taints are created using `kubectl taint` (but internally they are now represented as a field `taints` in the NodeSpec rather than using the `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/taints` annotation on Node). Tolerations are now specified...
