* API server authentication now caches successful bearer token authentication results for a few seconds. ([#50258](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50258), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* GCE/GKE load balancer health check default interval changes from 2 seconds to 8 seconds, unhealthyThreshold to 3. ([#70099](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70099), [@grayluck](https://github.com/grayluck))
    * Health check parameters are configurable to be bigger than default values.

	* A new controller for managing DNS records is introduced which can be optionally disabled to enable third party components to manage DNS records for federated services. ([#45034](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45034), [@shashidharatd](https://github.com/shashidharatd))

- Renames the timeout field for the DelegatingAuthenticationOptions to TokenRequestTimeout and set the timeout only for the token review client. Previously the timeout was also applied to watches making them reconnecting every 10 seconds.

* Azure cloudprovider: Reduce the polling delay for all azure clients to 5 seconds. This should speed up some operations at the cost of some additional quota. ([#43699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43699), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))

# ADR-0001 - Use Architectural Decision Records

## Date

2023-12-01

## Context

In a distributed team with many subteams, the best solution to communicate decisions is to use a format accessible by everyone in charge of development.

We use *Specification* and *Discovery* documents stored in Google Drive, but they present some downsides:
