- Add Endpoint Slice Controller for managing new EndpointSlice resource, disabled by default. ([#81048](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81048), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

- Fixes a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in 1.27 and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122756), [@hakman](https://github.com/hakman)) [SIG Network]

  Fixed multiple iptables proxy regressions introduced in 1.22:
  
    - When using Services with SessionAffinity, client affinity for an
      endpoint now gets broken when that endpoint becomes non-ready
      (rather than continuing until the endpoint is fully deleted).
  
    - Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to
      merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any *usable*

- This PR adds additional validation for endpoint ip configuration while iterating through queried endpoint list. ([#117225](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117225), [@princepereira](https://github.com/princepereira)) [SIG Network and Windows]

   *       can always page it to disk "for free". However, on systems where killing processes
   *       happens all the time in normal conditions (i.e., android) the OS must make a tradeoff
   *       between paging memory and killing other processes - so allocating a gigantic buffer and
   *       then sequentially accessing it could result in other processes dying. This is solvable
