#### Container Runtime Interface (CRI)

- Kubeadm: default the kubeadm configuration to the containerd socket (Unix: `unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock`, Windows: `npipe:////./pipe/containerd-containerd`) instead of the one for Docker. If the `Init|JoinConfiguration.nodeRegistration.criSocket` field is empty during cluster creation and multiple sockets are found on the host always throw an error and...

- Updated the CRI-O socket path, so users who configure kubelet to use a location like `/run/crio/crio.sock` don't see strange behaviour from CRI stats provider. ([#118704](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118704), [@dgl](https://github.com/dgl))
