* Add support in Kubelet to consume container metrics via CRI. [[@yguo0905](https://github.com/yguo0905)]
  * 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

- Fixing a bug that was preventing updates from 1.10 to 1.11

The external cloud provider was established and reached feature parity with in-tree, and we expect to stabilize it and have it as preferred deployment model by 1.13. We are also getting started on externalizing the vSphere volume functionalities in a CSI plugin to fully reproduce the current in-tree storage functionality.

  // Effect indicates the taint effect to match. Empty means match all taint effects.
  // When specified, allowed values are NoSchedule, PreferNoSchedule and NoExecute.

  optional string effect = 4;

  // TolerationSeconds represents the period of time the toleration (which must be
  // of effect NoExecute, otherwise this field is ignored) tolerates the taint. By default,

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- "Removed the ability to run `kubectl exec [POD] [COMMAND]` without a `--` separator.
  The `--` separator has been recommended since the Kubernetes v1.18 release, which also deprecated the legacy way of invoking `kubectl exec`.
  

  - If the custom resource does not participate the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change to the CR, except for changes to the metadata.

- The deprecated flag `--lock-object-namespace` and `--lock-object-name` have been removed from kube-scheduler. Please use `--leader-elect-resource-namespace` and `--leader-elect-resource-name` or ComponentConfig instead to configure those parameters.

- Sync LB backend nodes for Service `Type=LoadBalancer` on Add/Delete node events. ([#81185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81185), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

--allow-privileged parameter of the Kubernetes-worker charm has been set to true based on changes which went into the Kubernetes 1.10 release. Before this change the default value was set to false. If you're installing Canonical Kubernetes you should expect this value to now be true by default and you should now look to use PSP (pod security policies).

## External Dependencies...

IPv6, or both, and you can change this setting for existing Services. Details are available in updated [IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack docs](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/services-networking/dual-stack/), which cover the nuanced array of options.

We expect this implementation to progress from alpha to beta and GA in coming releases, so we’re eager to have you comment about your dual-stack experiences in [#k8s-dual-stack](https://kubernetes.slack.com/messages/k8s-dual-stack) or in [enhancements #563...
