- In the kubelet resource metrics endpoint at /metrics/resource, change the names of the following metrics:
  - node_cpu_usage_seconds --> node_cpu_usage_seconds_total
  - container_cpu_usage_seconds --> container_cpu_usage_seconds_total

- The CPU Manager will now validate the state of the node,  enabling Kubernetes to maintain the CPU topology even if resources change. ([#66718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66718), [@ipuustin](https://github.com/ipuustin))

- 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 CPU 4-23 for the user containers.

  * There are known bugs that result in errors when querying Kubelet's stats summary API. We expect to fix them in v1.8.1.

#### kubelet

* [alpha] Kubelet now supports alternative container-level CPU affinity policies by using the new CPU manager. ([#375](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/375), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning), [@ConnorDoyle](https://github.com/ConnorDoyle))

- Fixes an issue calculating total CPU usage reported for Windows nodes ([#122999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122999), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

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.

The Resource Management Working Group graduated three features to beta in the 1.10 release.  First, [CPU Manager](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/cpu-management-policies/), which allows users to request exclusive CPU cores.  This helps performance in a variety of use-cases, including network latency sensitive applications, as well as applications that benefit from CPU cache residency.  Next, [Huge Pages](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-hugepages/scheduling-hugepages/),...

- Fixed a bug in kubelet that will saturate CPU utilization after containerd got restarted. ([#97174](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97174), [@hanlins](https://github.com/hanlins)) [SIG Node]

* Free up CPU and memory requested but unused by Metrics Server Pod Nanny. ([#57252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57252), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))

- Fixes an issue calculating total CPU usage reported for Windows nodes ([#122999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122999), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]
