* purposes, the "count" field, tracking the number of elements, serves as that volatile
     * variable ensuring visibility. This is convenient because this field needs to be read in many
     * read operations anyway:
     *
     * - All (unsynchronized) read operations must first read the "count" field, and should not
     * look at table entries if it is 0.

* Improve efficiency of preemption logic in clusters with many pending pods. ([#72895](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72895), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.

- Reduce API server memory when many CRDs are loaded by sharing a single etcd3 client logger across all clients ([#111649](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111649), [@negz](https://github.com/negz)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Reduce API server memory when many CRDs are loaded by sharing a single etcd3 client logger across all clients ([#111650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111650), [@negz](https://github.com/negz)) [SIG API Machinery]

### CronJob
* Add configurable limits to CronJob resource to specify how many successful and failed jobs are preserved. ([#40932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40932), [@peay](https://github.com/peay))

### DaemonSet

- Reduce API server memory when many CRDs are loaded by sharing a single etcd3 client logger across all clients ([#111648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111648), [@negz](https://github.com/negz)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Immutable Secrets and ConfigMaps (beta)

Secret and ConfigMap volumes can be marked as immutable, which significantly reduces load on the API server if there are many Secret and ConfigMap volumes in the cluster.
See [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/) and [Secret](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/) for more information.
