  Changelog (vs 55-8872-18-0)
    * Cherry-pick runc PR#608: Eliminate redundant parsing of mountinfo
    * Updated kubernetes to v1.4.5

  - Fix an error where existing nodes were not considered as destinations while finding place for pods in scale-down simulations
  - Remove redundant log lines and reduce severity around parsing kubeEnv
  - Don't treat nodes created by virtual kubelet as nodes from non-autoscaled node groups
  - Remove redundant logging around calculating node utilization
  - Add configurable `--network` and `--rm` flags for docker in `Makefile`

- Kubeadm: fixed a bug during kubeadm upgrade, where it is not possible to mount a new device and create a symbolic link for /etc/kubernetes...

- Added a redundant process to remove tracking finalizers from Pods that belong to Jobs. The process kicks in after the control plane marks a Job as finished. ([#119944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119944), [@Sharpz7](https://github.com/Sharpz7))

- Introduced new metrics removing the redundant subsystem in kube-apiserver pod logs metrics and deprecate the original ones:
  - kube_apiserver_pod_logs_pods_logs_backend_tls_failure_total becomes kube_apiserver_pod_logs_backend_tls_failure_total
