### Documentation

- Documented the reason field in CRI API to ensure it equals `OOMKilled` for the containers terminated by OOM killer ([#112977](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112977), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))

- A new kubelet metric `image_pull_duration_seconds` was added. The metric tracks the duration (in seconds) it takes for an image to be pulled, including the time spent in the waiting queue of image puller. The metric is broken down by bucketed image size.
