- kubelet now accepts `pid=<number>` in the `--system-reserved` and `--kube-reserved` options to ensure that the specified number of process IDs will be reserved for the system as a whole and for Kubernetes system daemons respectively.  Please reference `Kube Reserved` and `System Reserved` in `Reserve Compute Resources for System...

    * remainingItemCount is the number of subsequent items in the list which are not included in this list response. If the list request contained label or field selectors, then the number of remaining items is unknown and the field will be left unset and omitted during serialization. If the list is complete (either because it is not chunking or because this...

* adjusted http/2 buffer sizes for apiservers to prevent starvation issues between concurrent streams ([#67902](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67902), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Bump up version number of debian-base, debian-hyperkube-base and debian-iptables.  ([#67026](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67026), [@satyasm](https://github.com/satyasm))
    * Also updates dependencies of users of debian-base.

  - Clone `kubernetes/kubernetes` in `update-vendor.sh` shallowly, instead of fetching all revisions
  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric
  - Errors in `IncreaseSize` changed from type `apiError` to `cloudProviderError`

* Improve efficiency of preemption logic in clusters with many pending pods. ([#72895](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72895), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
* Fix scheduling starvation of pods in cluster with large number of unschedulable pods. ([#72619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72619), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace))

- Remove a v1alpha1 networking API for ClusterCIDRConfig ([#109436](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109436), [@JamesLaverack](https://github.com/JamesLaverack))
- Renamed metrics `evictions_number` to `evictions_total` and mark it as stable. The original `evictions_number` metrics name is marked as "Deprecated" and has been removed in kubernetes 1.23 . ([#106366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106366), [@cyclinder](https://github.com/cyclinder))

- Adds a metric `apiserver_request_error_total` to kube-apiserver. This metric tallies the number of `request_errors` encountered by verb, group, version, resource, subresource, scope, component, and code. ([#83427](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83427), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

- The new flag `--chunk-size=SIZE` has been added to `kubectl describe`. This flag may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when `0` is passed. ([#101171](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101171),...

- Limit number of instances in a single update to GCE target pool to 1000. ([#87881](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87881), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Network and Scalability]

using vSphere. ([#59328](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59328), [@divyenpatel](https://github.com/divyenpatel))

* Emit number of bound and unbound persistent volumes as Metrics. This PR adds four kinds of Volume Metrics for kube-controller-manager: bound PVC numbers, unbound PVC numbers, bound PV numbers and unbound PV numbers. The PVC metrics use namespace as dimension and the PV metrics use StorageClassName as its dimension. With these metrics we can better monitor the...
