Enhance Kubernetes API server performance by serving consistent list requests directly from its watch cache, improving scalability and response times. To consistent list from cache Kubernetes requires a newer etcd version (v3.4.31+ or v3.5.13+), that includes fixes to watch progress request feature. If older etcd version is provided Kubernetes will automatically detect it and fallback to serving consistent reads from etcd. Progress notifications ensure watch cache is consistent with etcd while reducing the need for resource-intensive quorum reads from etcd.

See the Kubernetes documentation on Semantics for get and list for more details.
