  * Remove the `--enable-cri` flag. CRI is now the default, and the only way to integrate with Kubelet for the container runtimes.([#45194](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45194), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))

After its deprecation in v1.20, the dockershim component has been removed from the kubelet.
From v1.24 onwards, you will need to either use one of the other [supported runtimes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/) (such as containerd or CRI-O)
or use cri-dockerd if you are relying on Docker Engine as your container runtime.

- The RuntimeClass API has been added. This feature is in alpha, and the RuntimeClass feature gate must be enabled in order to use it. The RuntimeClass API resource defines different classes of runtimes that may be used to run containers in the cluster. Pods can select a RuntimeClass to use via the RuntimeClassName field. ([#67737](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67737), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))

- Fixed bug to correctly report `ErrRegistryUnavailable` on pulling container images for remote CRI runtimes. ([#117612](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117612), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Node]

* The [`kubefed` federation bootstrap tool](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/federation/set-up-cluster-federation-kubefed/) has also graduated to beta.
* Interaction with container runtimes is now through the CRI interface, enabling easier integration of runtimes with the kubelet. Docker remains the default runtime via Docker-CRI (which moves to beta).
  * **WARNING:** A [known issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/44041)

### Documentation

- The command`kubectl debug` will now print a warning message when using the `--target` option since many container runtimes do not support this yet. ([#101074](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101074), [@verb](https://github.com/verb))

### Failing Test

   ([#121912](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121912), [@JoelSpeed](https://github.com/JoelSpeed))
- Allowed container runtimes to fix an image garbage collection bug by adding an `image_id` field to the CRI Container message.
   ([#123508](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123508), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

- If a pod has a running instance, the stats of its previously terminated instances will not show up in the kubelet summary stats any more for CRI runtimes such as containerd and cri-o. This keeps the behavior consistent with Docker integration, and fixes an issue that some container Prometheus metrics don't work when there are summary stats for multiple instances of the same pod. ([#77426](https:/...

  * Passed all the Kubernetes 1.7 end-to-end conformance test suites.
  * Verification against Kubernetes 1.8 is planned soon after the release.

* [stable] [frakti](https://github.com/kubernetes/frakti): CRI implementation for hypervisor-based runtimes is now v1.1. [[@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)]
