- Kubemark: added two flags, `--kube-api-qps` which indicates the maximum QPS to the apiserver, and `--kube-api-burst` which indicates maximum burst for throttle to the apiserver. ([#124147](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124147), [@devincd](https://github.com/devincd))

- Added a new label `type` to `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_execution_seconds` metric - it has the following values: - 'regular': indicates that it is a non long running request - 'watch': indicates that it is a watch request. ([#105517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105517), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

- Add `RequiresExactMatch` for `label.Selector` ([#85048](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85048), [@shaloulcy](https://github.com/shaloulcy))
- Adds a new label to indicate what is managing an EndpointSlice. ([#83965](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83965), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

 *
 * <p>A pipeline of {@code ClosingFuture}s is a tree of steps. Each step represents either an
 * asynchronously-computed intermediate value, or else an exception that indicates the failure or
 * cancellation of the operation so far. The only way to extract the value or exception from a step
 * is by declaring that step to be the last step of the pipeline. Nevertheless, we refer to the

  * apiserver_request_total
  * apiserver_request_duration_seconds  

- Fixed missing flags in `kube-apiserver --help`. ([#70204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70204), [@imjching](https://github.com/imjching))
- The caBundle and service fields in admission webhook API objects now correctly indicate they are optional ([#70138](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70138), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

scalability testing in a continuous integration (CI) environment. The SIG
defined a concrete process for scalability testing, created
documentation for the current scalability thresholds, and defined a new set of
Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for the system.
Here's the release [scalability validation report].
