Other notable changes include:
* CoreDNS replaces kube-dns as the default DNS provider
* Improved user experience for environments without a public internet connection and users using other CRI runtimes than Docker
* Support for structured configuration for the kubelet, which avoids the need to modify the systemd drop-in file

    * handle gracefully problem when kubelet reports duplicated stats for the same container (see [#47853](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47853)) on Heapster side
    * fixed bugs and improved performance in Stackdriver Sink

SIG-OpenStack updated the OpenStack provider to use newer APIs, consolidated community code into one repository, engaged with the Cloud Provider Working Group to have a consistent plan for moving provider code into individual repositories, improved testing of provider code, and strengthened ties with the OpenStack developer community.
