- Fix a bug in cronjob controller where already created jobs...

- Add a `serving` and `terminating` condition to the EndpointSlice API.
  `serving` tracks the readiness of endpoints regardless of their terminating state. This is distinct from `ready` since `ready` is only true when pods are not terminating. 

  - `resourceclaim_controller_creates_total` count metric with labels `admin_access` (true or false), `status` (failure or success) to track the total number of `ResourceClaims` creation requests

#### Application Deployment

- The iptables mode of kube-proxy now tracks accepted packets that are destined for node-ports on localhost by introducing `kubeproxy_iptables_localhost_nodeports_accepted_packets_total` metric.

- A new kubelet metric `image_pull_duration_seconds` was added. The metric tracks the duration (in seconds) it takes for an image to be pulled, including the time spent in the waiting queue of image puller. The metric is broken down by bucketed image size.

* DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet objects are now persisted in etcd in apps/v1 format ([#58854](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58854), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* YAMLDecoder Read now tracks rest of buffer on io.ErrShortBuffer ([#58817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58817), [@karlhungus](https://github.com/karlhungus))

### Feature

- A new Priority and Fairness metric 'apiserver_flowcontrol_work_estimate_seats_samples' has been added that tracks the estimated seats associated with a request. ([#106628](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106628), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

    automatically retry on an unshared connection.
 *  Fix: Don't crash if a TLS tunnel's response body is truncated.
 *  Fix: Don't track unusable routes beyond their usefulness. We had a bug where we could track
    certain bad routes indefinitely; now we only track the ones that could be necessary.
 *  Fix: Defer proxy selection until a proxy is required. This saves calls to `ProxySelector` on
