- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits.

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Fixed a bug in the NestedNumberAsFloat64 Unstructured field accessor that could cause it to return rounded float64 values instead of errors when accessing very large int64 values. ([#128099](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128099), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Bug or Regression

- An inefficient lock in EndpointSlice controller metrics cache has been reworked. Network programming latency may be significantly reduced in certain scenarios, especially in clusters with a large number of Services. ([#107169](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107169), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

If the capacity of <code>s</code> is not large enough to fit the additional
values, <code>append</code> allocates a new, sufficiently large underlying
array that fits both the existing slice elements and the additional values.
Otherwise, <code>append</code> re-uses the underlying array.

- KCCM: fixed transient node addition and removal caused by #121090 while syncing load balancers on large clusters with a lot of churn. ([#121091](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121091), [@alexanderConstantinescu](https://github.com/alexanderConstantinescu))

- Fixed bug in reflector that couldn't recover from "Too large resource version" errors with API servers 1.17.0-1.18.5 ([#94316](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94316), [@janeczku](https://github.com/janeczku)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Never prevent deletion of resources as part of namespace lifecycle ([#48733](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48733), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* AWS cloudprovider plugin: Fix for large clusters (200+ nodes). Also fix bug with volumes not getting detached from a node after reboot. ([#48312](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48312), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
