*   Make crictl command more user friendly and add more subcommands.
    *   Integrate with CRI verbose option to provide extra debug information.
    *   Update CRI to kubernetes v1.9.
    *   Bug fixes in validation test suites.

* Fix panic for attaching AzureDisk to vmss nodes ([#63275](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63275), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* `kubectl api-resources` now supports filtering to resources supporting specific verbs, and can output fully qualified resource names suitable for combining with commands like `kubectl get` ([#63254](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63254), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

           rules:
           - apiGroups: [""]
             resources: ["events"]
             verbs:
             - create
             - patch
             - update
           - apiGroups: [""]
             resources: ["secrets"]
             verbs:
             - get
             - create
         - apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
           kind: ClusterRoleBinding

  the garbage collector starts to manage it.


#### Monitoring/Prometheus

### Scheduler
* Add the support to the scheduler for spreading pods of StatefulSets. ([#41708](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41708), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
* Added support to minimize sending verbose node information to scheduler extender by sending only node names and expecting extenders to cache the rest of the node information ([#41119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41119), [@sarat-k](https://github.com/sarat-k))
