- The deprecated flag `--lock-object-namespace` and `--lock-object-name` have been removed from kube-scheduler. Please use `--leader-elect-resource-namespace` and `--leader-elect-resource-name` or ComponentConfig instead to configure those parameters.

focused on stability and performance improvements in the 1.13 release.  A new alpha feature is introduced to improve the mechanism that nodes heartbeat back to the control plane.  The `NodeLease` feature results in the node using a `Lease` resource in the `kube-node-lease` namespace that is renewed periodically.  The `NodeStatus` that was used previously to heartbeat back to the control plane is only updated when it changes.  This reduces load on the control plane for large clusters. The Kubelet plugin...

### Feature

- Add flag --lease-max-object-size and metric etcd_lease_object_counts for kube-apiserver to config and observe max objects attached to a single etcd lease. ([#97480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97480), [@lingsamuel](https://github.com/lingsamuel)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Scalability]

- The `--leader-elect*` CLI args are now honored in scheduler. ([#105915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105915), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

* kube-scheduler: restores default leader election behavior. leader-elect command line parameter should "true" ([#60524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60524), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- Fix a bug in the dual-stack IPVS proxier where stale IPv6 endpoints were not being cleaned up ([#87695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87695), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG Network]

Kubernetes' default backend storage, etcd, has a new release 3.5.0 and the community embraced it. The new release comes with improvements to the Security, performance, monitoring and developer experience. There are numerous bug fixes to lease objects causing memory leaks, and compact operation causing deadlocks and more. A couple of new features are also introduced like the migration to structured logging and build in log rotation. The release comes with a detailed future roadmap to implement a solution...
