The RuntimeClass alpha feature enables a node to surface multiple runtime options to support a variety of workload types.  Examples include native linux containers, and “sandboxed” containers that isolate the container from the host kernel.

    * Add hugepages monitoring support
    * Fix incorrect CPU usage metrics with 4.7 kernel
    * Add tmpfs monitoring support
* Support for Huge pages in empty_dir volume plugin ([#50072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50072), [@squall0gd](https://github.com/squall0gd))
    * [Huge pages](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt) can now be used with empty dir volume plugin.

- Kubelet: a configuration file specified via `--config` is now loaded with strict deserialization,...

issues with Docker 1.9.1 can be found below.
  * CPU hardcapping will be enabled by default for containers with CPU limit set,
if supported by the kernel. You should either adjust your CPU limit, or set CPU
request only, if you want to avoid hardcapping. If the kernel does not support
CPU Quota, NodeStatus will contain a warning indicating that CPU Limits cannot
be enforced.

#### Docker runtime Known Issues

- Kernel crash with Aufs storage driver on Debian Jessie ([#27885](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27885))
  - Consider running the *new* [kubernetes node problem detector](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector) to identify this (and other) kernel issues automatically.

- `kube-proxy`: Added an option/flag for configuring the `nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal` sysctl (in the kernel's netfilter conntrack subsystem).  When enabled, `kube-proxy` will not install the `DROP` rule for invalid conntrack states, which currently breaks users of asymmetric routing. ([#120354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120354), [@a...

- kubeadm will now not fail preflight checks when running on >= 5.0 Linux kernel ([#74355](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74355), [@brb](https://github.com/brb))

  * Upgrade Node Problem Detector to v0.4.1. New features added:

    * Add /dev/kmsg support for kernel log parsing. ([#112](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/112), [@euank](https://github.com/euank))

- Clarified the CFS quota as 100ms in the code comments and set the minimum `cpuCFSQuotaPeriod` to 1ms to match Linux kernel expectations. ([#112123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112123), [@paskal](https://github.com/paskal))
