  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a

- Fixed a race condition on API server startup ensuring previously created webhook configurations are effective before the first write request is admitted. ([#95783](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95783), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixed a race condition in kube-controller-manager and the scheduler, caused by
  a bug in the transforming informer during the Resync operation, 
  by making the transforming function idempotent. ([#124352](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124352), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]

- Apiserver `/healthz/etcd` endpoint rate limits the number of forwarded health check requests to the etcd backends, answering with the last known state if the rate limit is exceeded. The rate limit is based on 1/2 of the timeout configured, with no burst allowed. ([#112046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112046), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))...
