Answer
They allocate fair request shares, ensuring critical traffic is never starved by noisy clients.
Quick Answer
API Priority and Fairness (APF) classifies incoming API requests into priority levels (leader-election, cluster-critical, system, workload-low). Each level has a queue with concurrency limits. This prevents a burst of low-priority requests (like a misconfigured controller) from blocking critical operations (kubelet heartbeats, leader election). Every request gets fair access within its priority class.
