*   [beta] Flag `--chunk-size={SIZE}` is added to `kubectl get` to customize the number of results returned in large lists of resources. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters because the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly. Pass 0 to disable this feature.([#53768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53768),[ @smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))...

- Fix missing cadvisor machine metrics. ([#97006](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97006), [@lingsamuel](https://github.com/lingsamuel)) [SIG Node]
- Fix: azure file latency issue for metadata-heavy workloads ([#97082](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97082), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

### 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]

			// use target endpoint metrics from node which has been up the longest
			if v2.LastOnline.After(v.LastOnline) || v2.LastOnline.IsZero() {
				v2.Endpoint = v.Endpoint
				v2.LastOnline = v.LastOnline
				v2.Latency = v.Latency
				v2.Online = v.Online
				v2.TotalDowntime = v.TotalDowntime
				v2.DeploymentID = v.DeploymentID
			}
			v2.ReplicatedCount += v.ReplicatedCount
			v2.ReplicatedSize += v.ReplicatedSize

- Added a warning log, an event for cgroup v1 usage and a metric for cgroup version. ([#125328](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125328), [@harche](https://github.com/harche))
- Added apiserver.latency.k8s.io/apf-queue-wait annotation to the audit log
  to record the time spent waiting in APF queue. ([#123919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123919), [@hakuna-matatah](https://github.com/hakuna-matatah))

	smallFileThreshold = 128 * humanize.KiByte // Optimized for NVMe/SSDs

	// For hardrives it is possible to set this to a lower value to avoid any
	// spike in latency. But currently we are simply keeping it optimal for SSDs.

	// bigFileThreshold is the point where we add readahead to put operations.
	bigFileThreshold = 128 * humanize.MiByte

- Reverted regression that prevented `client-go` latency metrics to be reported with a template URL to avoid label cardinality. ([#111752](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111752), [@aanm](https://github.com/aanm))
