### etcd moves to version 3.5.0

* **Safer** types.
* Better **performance** and **less energy** consumption.
* Better **extensibility**.
* etc.

...all this while keeping the **same Python API**. In most of the cases, for simple models, you can simply upgrade the Pydantic version and get all the benefits. 🚀

In some cases, for pure data validation and processing, you can get performance improvements of **20x** or more. This means 2,000% or more. 🤯

 * Iterator}. Except as noted, each method has a corresponding {@link Iterable}-based method in the
 * {@link Iterables} class.
 *
 * <p><i>Performance notes:</i> Unless otherwise noted, all of the iterators produced in this class
 * are <i>lazy</i>, which means that they only advance the backing iteration when absolutely
 * necessary.

mitigation to avoid disrupting load balancer → kube-apiserver connections if http/2 requests from multiple clients share the same backend connection. An API server on a private network may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to prevent performance regressions for unauthenticated clients. Authenticated requests rely on the fix in golang.org/x/net v0.17.0 alone. https://issue.k8s.io/121197 tracks further mitigation of http/2 attacks by authenticated clients.
