- The `kube-controller-manager` supports `--concurrent-ephemeralvolume-syncs` flag to set the number of ephemeral volume controller workers. ([#102981](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102981), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

- Flag `--concurrent-node-syncs` has been added to cloud node controller which defines how many workers in parallel will be initialising and synchronising nodes. ([#113104](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113104), [@pawbana](https://github.com/pawbana)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Scalability]

- Added `--concurrent-daemonset-syncs` command line flag to kube-controller-manager. This value sets the number of workers for the daemonset controller. ([#128444](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128444), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k))

- Enabled `kube-controller-manager` to support '--concurrent-horizontal-pod-autoscaler-syncs' flag to set the number of horizontal pod autoscaler controller workers. ([#108501](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108501), [@zroubalik](https://github.com/zroubalik))

- Fixed a data race in kubelet image manager that can cause static pod workers to silently stop working. ([#88915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88915), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG Node]

    - Windows kube-proxy will wait for HNS network creation on start ([#78612](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78612), [@ksubrmnn](https://github.com/ksubrmnn))

  // Create two worker tasks, using single host server defs.
  // A single host server def contains a client and the remote host.
  // Example:
  //
  //  Worker1:
  //  cluster { job { name: "client" tasks { key: 0 value: "localhost:14525" } }
  //            job { name: "worker" tasks { key: 1 value: "localhost:14523" } }
  //          } job_name: "worker" task_index: 1 protocol: "grpc"

* Fix kubectl describe for pods with controllerRef  ([#45467](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45467), [@ddysher](https://github.com/ddysher))
* Skip errors when unregistering juju kubernetes-workers ([#48144](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48144), [@ktsakalozos](https://github.com/ktsakalozos))

* 🌐 Update Chinese translation for `docs/zh/docs/deployment/server-workers.md`. PR [#13292](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/pull/13292) by [@Zhongheng-Cheng](https://github.com/Zhongheng-Cheng).

### AWS

* Add AWS cloud provider option to use an assumed IAM role. For example, this allows running Controller Manager in a account separate from the worker nodes, but still allows all resources created to interact with the workers. ELBs created would be in the same account as the worker nodes for instance.([#59668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59668), [@brycecarman](https://github.com/brycecarman))
