This work is part of the SLO improvements we have for kubernetes - helping us meet the requirements of much denser clusters. The key goal for alpha is to prove that it will help us reach the next scale limit for Kubernetes, and will take work across several releases to get there.

If yes, please, update the features tracking spreadsheet with the feature data, otherwise, let's remove this item from 1.8 milestone.

Thanks
