* Kubelet now supports container log rotation for container runtimes implementing CRI (container runtime interface).  The feature can be enabled with feature gate `CRIContainerLogRotation`. The flags `--container-log-max-size` and `--container-log-max-files` can be used to configure the rotation behavior.

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes into their own respective repos. Along with this migration, we are slowly transitioning users to use the cloud-controller-manager for any cloud provider features instead of the kube-controller-manager.
