### Bug or Regression

- Avoid GCE API calls when initializing GCE CloudProvider for Kubelets.

### Client
* Use Prometheus instrumentation conventions ([#36704](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36704), [@fabxc](https://github.com/fabxc))
* Clients now use the `?watch=true` parameter to make watch API calls, instead of the `/watch/` path prefix ([#41722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41722), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

    assertThat(segment.count).isEqualTo(1);
  }

  @AndroidIncompatible // Perhaps emulator clock does not update between the two get() calls?
  public void testComputeExpiredEntry() throws ExecutionException {
    CacheBuilder<Object, Object> builder = createCacheBuilder().expireAfterWrite(1, NANOSECONDS);
    CountingLoader loader = new CountingLoader();

    assertThat(loader.getCount()).isEqualTo(1);
    assertThat(segment.count).isEqualTo(1);
  }

    protected static final String CODE = "code";

    /** Timeout for token acquisition in milliseconds. */
    protected long acquisitionTimeout = 30 * 1000L;

    /** Cache for storing group information to reduce API calls. */

    /** Group cache expiry time in seconds. */
    protected long groupCacheExpiry = 10 * 60L;

- Avoid GCE API calls when initializing GCE CloudProvider for Kubelets. ([#90218](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90218), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Scalability]

 - Reduced frequency of DescribeVolumes calls of AWS API when attaching/detaching a volume.

- Fix the regression that introduced 34s timeout for DELETECOLLECTION calls ([#115481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115481), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Remove Job also from .status.active for Replace strategy ([#35420](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35420), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
* Update PodAntiAffinity to ignore calls to subresources ([#35608](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35608), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
