* Re-export utils from Starlette:
    * This allows using things like `from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse` instead of `from starlette.responses import JSONResponse`.
    * It's mainly syntax sugar, a convenience for developer experience.

  // The ConfigMap to select from.

    * cAdvisor metrics can now be scraped from `/metrics/cadvisor` on the kubelet ports.
    * Note that you have to update your scraping jobs to get kubelet-only metrics from `/metrics` and `container_*` metrics from `/metrics/cadvisor`

<h3 id="Slice_expressions">Slice expressions</h3>

<p>
Slice expressions construct a substring or slice from a string, array, pointer
to array, or slice. There are two variants: a simple form that specifies a low
and high bound, and a full form that also specifies a bound on the capacity.

  - *apiserver_cache_list_fetched_objects_total*: Counter of objects read from watch cache in the course of serving a LIST request, broken down by resource_prefix and index_name
  - *apiserver_cache_list_evaluated_objects_total*: Counter of objects tested in the course of serving a LIST request from watch cache, broken down by resource_prefix

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability, it can be re-enabled with a `WatchFromStorageWithoutResourceVersion`...

- `kubeadm`: turned on feature gate `MergeCLIArgumentsWithConfig` to merge the config from flag and config file, otherwise, if the flag `--ignore-preflight-errors` is set from the CLI, then the value from config file will be ignored.

- Users will see increase in time for deletion of pods and also guarantee that removal of pod from api server  would mean deletion of all the resources from container runtime. ([#92817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92817), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG Node]
