- Fix a panic when using invalid output format in kubectl create secret command ([#107345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107345), [@rikatz](https://github.com/rikatz)) [SIG CLI]
- Fixes a rare race condition handling requests that timeout ([#107460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107460), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Server Memory { #server-memory }

For example, if your code loads a Machine Learning model with **1 GB in size**, when you run one process with your API, it will consume at least 1 GB of RAM. And if you start **4 processes** (4 workers), each will consume 1 GB of RAM. So in total, your API will consume **4 GB of RAM**.

And if your remote server or virtual machine only has 3 GB of RAM, trying to load more than 4 GB of RAM will cause problems. 🚨

- Added a detailed event for in-place pod vertical scaling completed, improving cluster management and debugging. ([#130387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130387), [@shiya0705](https://github.com/shiya0705)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Autoscaling, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Fixed an issue in register-gen where imports for k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime and k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime/schema were missing. ([#130392](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130392), [@mrIncompetent](https://github.com/mrIncompetent)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Build etcd image v3.5.12 ([#123069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123069), [@bzsuni](https://github.com/bzsuni)) [SIG API Machinery and Etcd]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

- The v1 Endpoints API is now officially deprecated (though still fully supported). The API will not be removed, but all users should use the EndpointSlice API instead.

### API Change

- Restore --verify-only function in code generation wrappers. ([#123261](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123261), [@skitt](https://github.com/skitt)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Sample-apiserver manifest example will have correct RBAC ([#123479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123479), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression watching a single namespace via the deprecated /api/v1/watch/namespaces/$name endpoint where watch events were not delivered after the watch was established ([#126150](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126150), [@xyz-li](https://github.com/xyz-li)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
