Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

About: Memory consumption LIST requests.

Track work for [KEP-3157](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/3157-watch-list)

The kube-apiserver is vulnerable to memory explosion. The issue is apparent in larger clusters (e.g. >250 nodes), where only a few LIST requests might cause serious disruption. Uncontrolled and unbounded memory consumption of the servers does not only affect clusters that operate in an HA mode but also other programs that share the same machine.

This Jira Feature is the track the upstream & downstream work on this KEP
