backend storage, etcd, has a new release 3.5.0 and the community embraced it. The new release comes with improvements to the Security, performance, monitoring and developer experience. There are numerous bug fixes to lease objects causing memory leaks, and compact operation causing deadlocks and more. A couple of new features are also introduced like the migration to structured logging and build in log rotation. The release comes with a detailed future roadmap to implement a solution to traffic overload....

- Introduced the `--as-user-extra` persistent flag in `kubectl`, which allows passing extra arguments during impersonation. ([#134378](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134378), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI and Testing]

- Kubeadm: instead of passing the etcd flag --experimental-initial-corrupt-check, set the InitialCorruptCheck=true etcd feature gate, and instead of passing the --experimental-watch-progress-notify-interval flag, pass its graduated variant --watch-progress-notify-interval.

affinity/anti-affinity](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/) and **[beta]** [pod affinity/anti-affinity](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/). Node affinity/anti-affinity allow you to specify rules for restricting which node(s) a pod can schedule onto, based on the labels on the node. Pod affinity/anti-affinity allow you to specify rules for spreading and packing pods relative to one another, across arbitrary topologies (node, zone, etc.)...

- For performance reasons, `kubectl describe` now defaults to showing related events only when describing a single object. Passing `--show-events` explicitly when describing multiple objects or fuzzy matching on prefix will still show related events if desired.

* Fixed an issue where Portworx volume driver wasn't passing namespace and annotations to the Portworx Create API. ([#59607](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59607), [@harsh-px](https://github.com/harsh-px))
* Use a more reliable way to get total physical memory on windows nodes ([#57124](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57124), [@JiangtianLi](https://github.com/JiangtianLi))
