* Added `spec.additionalPrinterColumns` to CRDs to define server side printing columns. ([#60991](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60991), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* The new flag `--apiserver-advertise-dns-address` is used in the node's kubelet.confg to point to the API server, allowing users to define a DNS entry instead of an IP address. ([#59288](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59288), [@stevesloka](https://github.com/stevesloka))

*   You can now add "options" to the host's /etc/resolv.conf (or --resolv-conf), and they will be copied into pod's resolv.conf when dnsPolicy is Default. Being able to customize options is important because it is common to leverage options to fine-tune the behavior of DNS client. ([#54773](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54773),[ @phsiao](https://github.com/phsiao))

- A new kubelet command line option, `--reserved-cpus`, is introduced to explicitly define the CPU list that will be reserved for system. For example, if `--reserved-cpus=0,1,2,3` is specified, then cpu 0,1,2,3 will be reserved for the system.  On a system with 24 CPUs, the user may specify `isolcpus=4-23` for the kernel option and use...

- Scheduler: Add DefaultBinder plugin ([#87430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87430), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
- Skip default spreading scoring plugin for pods that define TopologySpreadConstraints ([#87566](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87566), [@skilxn-go](https://github.com/skilxn-go)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Added a new feature gate, `SchedulerQueueingHints` (enabled by default).
  The new feature gate activates a framework for fine-grained filtering of events related to scheduler plugins.

   * **NOTE:** Self-hosting will be the default way to host the control plane in the next release, v1.9

* [alpha] A new `phase` subcommand supports performing only subtasks of the full `kubeadm init` flow. Combined with fine-grained configuration, kubeadm is now more easily consumable by higher-level provisioning tools like kops or GKE. ([#356](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/356), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- The [Service Plan Defaults](https://svc-cat.io/docs/service-plan-defaults/) feature is in alpha and is under active development. This feature gives operators the ability to define defaults for when someone provisions a service.
- We now support [filtering which services are exposed by Service Catalog](https://svc-cat.io/docs/catalog-restrictions/).

- Kubeadm: relax the validation of kubeconfig server URLs. Allow the user to define custom kubeconfig server URLs without erroring out during validation of existing kubeconfig files (e.g. when using external CA mode).
