- Fixes an issue calculating total CPU usage reported for Windows nodes ([#122999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122999), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

  * 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

* [alpha] Kubelet now supports alternative container-level CPU affinity policies by using the new CPU manager. ([#375](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/375), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning), [@ConnorDoyle](https://github.com/ConnorDoyle))

- Fixed a bug in kubelet that will saturate CPU utilization after containerd got restarted. ([#97175](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97175), [@hanlins](https://github.com/hanlins)) [SIG Node]

- Using NUMA nodes instead of sockets for CPU manager hints. ([#99276](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99276), [@iwankgb](https://github.com/iwankgb)) [SIG Node]

* Remove cpu limits for dns pod to avoid CPU starvation ([#33227](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33227), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))

- The CPUManager policy options are now enabled, and we introduce a graduation path for the new CPU Manager policy options. ([#105012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105012), [@fromanirh](https://github.com/fromanirh))

    * [event-exporter addon] Bump event-exporter to 0.2.3 to pick up security fixes.
* [GCP] Added env variables to control CPU requests of kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler. ([#68823](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68823), [@loburm](https://github.com/loburm))
