- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases. ([#127277](https://github.com/kubernetes/k...

- [API Server Network Proxy](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/1281-network-proxy/README.md) going alpha in 1.16.
- [Extensions](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-cloud-provider/991-cloud-controller-migration/README.md) for Cloud Controller Manager Migration.

- ReplicaSets and Deployments should always count `.status.availableReplicas` at the correct time without a delay. This results in faster reconciliation of Deployment conditions and faster, unblocked Deployment rollouts.

- Kubelet: remove deprecated flag `--container-runtime` ([#114017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114017), [@calvin0327](https://github.com/calvin0327)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Node]
- Kubelet: the deprecated `--master-service-namespace` flag is removed in v1.27 ([#116015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116015), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

- Kubeadm: removed the toleration for the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint from the CoreDNS deployment of `kubeadm`. With the 1.25 release of kubeadm the taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` is no longer applied to control plane nodes and the toleration for it can be removed with the release of 1.26. You can also perform the same toleration removal from your own addon manifests....
