- Kubelet command line flags related to dockershim are now showing deprecation message as they will be removed along with dockershim in future release. ([#98730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98730), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

restricts redirect-following from the apiserver to same-host redirects.  If nodes are configured to respond to CRI streaming requests on a different host interface than what the apiserver makes requests on (only the case if not using the built-in dockershim & setting the kubelet flag `--redirect-container-streaming=true`), then these requests will be broken. In that case, the feature can be temporarily disabled until the node configuration is corrected. We suggest setting `--redirect-container-streaming=false`...

* Fix stackdriver metrics for node memory using wrong metric type ([#63535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63535), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))
* Fix dockershim CreateContainer error handling ([#61965](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61965), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))

- Provide IPv6 support for internal load balancer. ([#103794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103794), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
- Reduce the number of calls to docker for stats via dockershim. For Windows this reduces the latency when calling docker, for Linux this saves cpu cycles. ([#104287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104287), [@jsturtevant](https://github.com/jsturtevant)) [SIG Node and Windows]

   * Flexvolume plugins for SMB and iSCSI storage are also available out-of-tree at [Microsoft/K8s-Storage-Plugins](https://github.com/Microsoft/K8s-Storage-Plugins)
* Setup dns servers and search domains for Windows Pods in dockershim. Docker EE version >= 17.10.0 is required for propagating DNS to containers. ([#63905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63905), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- Ensures `ExecProbeTimeout=false` kubelet feature gate with dockershim is taken into account, when the exec probe takes longer than `timeoutSeconds` configuration. ([#100200](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100200), [@jackfrancis](https://github.com/jackfrancis))
