📰 Noteworthy

[OPERATOR] Set kube-apiserver maxReplicas=3 for all Shoots that are not annotated with alpha.control-plane.scaling.shoot.gardener.cloud/scale-down-disabled=true. by @voelzmo [#9605]

[OPERATOR] gardener-operator now deploys two Prometheus replicas into the garden namespace. Read more about it here. by @rfranzke [#9543]
[OPERATOR] A new gardenlet feature gate called ShootManagedIssuer was introduced. This feature gate guards the functionality described in GEP-24 until all of the components mentioned in the enhancement proposal are implemented by Gardener. by @dimityrmirchev [#9489]
[OPERATOR] A new admission plugin ShootResourceReservation has been added to gardener-apiserver. It supports calculating resource reservations (memory/CPU/PID) for the kubelet.kubeReserved fields in Shoots based on the available resources of a machine type. This only applies when useGKEFormula is set to true. Otherwise, the old static values remain to be used. by @MichaelEischer [#9449]
[OPERATOR] Support for proxy protocol is added to the istio ingress gateway to preserve the client source IP addresses. by @DockToFuture [#9526]

[OPERATOR] Fix kube-apiserver advertise address for ipv6 local setup. by @axel7born [#9555]
[OPERATOR] When vali is disabled in the GardenletConfiguration its fluentbit ClusterOutputs are no longer deployed. by @maboehm [#9525]
[OPERATOR] Istio-ingress gateway dashboard now shows the correct sent tcp traffic metric and the correct memory usage. by @ScheererJ [#9596]

[USER] A bug which mounted the kubelet data volume to /var/lib instead of /var/lib/kubelet when kubeletDataVolumeName was set has been fixed. by @oliver-goetz [#9614]

[OPERATOR] The vpn-seed-server now has better minimum memory settings so that less auto-scaling should occur. by @ScheererJ [#9590]
[OPERATOR] Resource utilization metrics for the kube-apiserver container are now federated in the runtime/prometheus. by @ialidzhikov [#9581]
