*`kubeadm` (alpha) provides an easy way to securely bootstrap Kubernetes on Linux, see http://kubernetes.io/docs/kubeadm/ ([#33262](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33262), [@errordeveloper](https://github.com/errordeveloper))
* Alpha JWS Discovery API for locating an apiserver securely ([#32203](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32203), [@dgoodwin](https://github.com/dgoodwin))
### Action Required
* kube-apiserver learned the '--anonymous-auth' flag, which defaults to true. When enabled, requests to the secure port that are not rejected by other configured authentication methods are treated as anonymous requests, and given a username of 'system:anonymous' and a group of 'system:unauthenticated'. ([#32386](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32386), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Authenticated users are decorated with a 'system:authenticated' group.
* NOTE: anonymous access is enabled by default. If you rely on authentication alone to authorize access, change to use an authorization mode other than AlwaysAllow, or or set '--anonymous-auth=false'.
* The NamespaceExists and NamespaceAutoProvision admission controllers have been removed. ([#31250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31250), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
* All cluster operators should use NamespaceLifecycle.
* Federation binaries and their corresponding docker images - `federation-apiserver` and `federation-controller-manager` are now folded in to the `hyperkube` binary. If you were using one of these binaries or docker images, please switch to using the `hyperkube` version. Please refer to the federation manifests - `federation/manifests/federation-apiserver.yaml` and `federation/manifests/federation-controller-manager-deployment.yaml` for examples. ([#29929](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29929), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))
### Other notable changes
* The kube-apiserver --service-account-key-file option can be specified multiple times, or can point to a file containing multiple keys, to enable rotation of signing keys. ([#34029](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34029), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* The apiserver now uses addresses reported by the kubelet in the Node object's status for apiserver->kubelet communications, rather than the name of the Node object. The address type used defaults to `InternalIP`, `ExternalIP`, and `LegacyHostIP` address types, in that order. ([#33718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33718), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))

Both the scripts are going to co-exist in this release, but the `federation-up.sh`/`federation-down.sh` scripts might be removed in a future release in favor of `federation/deploy/deploy.sh` script. ([#30744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30744), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))

* - all docker labels were exported as `container_label_*=*`
* New behavior:
* - Only `container_name`, `pod_name`, `namespace`, `id`, `image`, and `name` labels are exposed
* - no environment variables will be exposed ever via /metrics, even if whitelisted

### kubectl rolling-update: < v1.4.0 client vs >=v1.4.0 cluster
Old version kubectl's rolling-update command is compatible with Kubernetes 1.4 and higher only if you specify a new replication controller name. You will need to update to kubectl 1.4 or higher to use the rolling update command against a 1.4 cluster if you want to keep the original name, or you'll have to do two rolling updates.
If you do happen to use old version kubectl's rolling update against a 1.4 cluster, it will fail, usually with an error message that will direct you here. If you saw that error, then don't worry, the operation succeeded except for the part where the new replication controller is renamed back to the old name. You can just do another rolling update using kubectl 1.4 or higher to change the name back: look for a replication controller that has the original name plus a random suffix.
Unfortunately, there is a much rarer second possible failure mode: the replication controller gets renamed to the old name, but there is a duplicated set of pods in the cluster. kubectl will not report an error since it thinks its job is done.
If this happens to you, you can wait at most 10 minutes for the replication controller to start a resync, the extra pods will then be deleted. Or, you can manually trigger a resync by change the replicas in the spec of the replication controller.
### kubectl delete: < v1.4.0 client vs >=v1.4.0 cluster
If you use an old version kubectl to delete a replication controller or replicaset, then after the delete command has returned, the replication controller or the replicaset will continue to exist in the key-value store for a short period of time (<1s).Youprobablywillnotnoticeanydifferenceifyouusekubectlmanually,butyoumightnoticeitifyouareusingkubectlinascript.
* **Replication controller & Replicaset**: the DELETE request of a replication controller or a replicaset becomes asynchronous by default. The object will continue to exist in the key-value store for some time. The API server will set its metadata.deletionTimestamp, add the "orphan" finalizer to its metadata.finalizers. The object will be deleted from the key-value store after the garbage collector orphans its dependents. Please refer to this [user-guide](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/garbage-collector/) for more information regarding the garbage collection.
* **Other objects**: no changes unless you explicitly request orphaning.
- If you are using Kubernetes to manage `docker` containers, please be aware Kubernetes has been validated to work with docker 1.9.1, docker 1.11.2 (#23397), and docker 1.12.0 (#28698)
- If you upgrade your apiserver to 1.4.x but leave your kubelets at 1.3.x, they will not report init container status, but init containers will work properly. Upgrading kubelets to 1.4.x fixes this.
- The NamespaceExists and NamespaceAutoProvision admission controllers have been removed, use the NamespaceLifecycle admission controller instead (#31250, @derekwaynecarr)
- If upgrading Cluster Federation components from 1.3.x, the `federation-apiserver` and `federation-controller-manager` binaries have been folded into `hyperkube`. Please switch to using that instead. (#29929, @madhusudancs)
- If you are using the PodSecurityPolicy feature (eg: `kubectl get podsecuritypolicy` does not error, and returns one or more objects), be aware that init containers have moved from alpha to beta. If there are any pods with the key `pods.beta.kubernetes.io/init-containers`, then that pod may not have been filtered by the PodSecurityPolicy. You should find such pods and either delete them or audit them to ensure they do not use features that you intend to be blocked by PodSecurityPolicy. (#31026, @erictune)
- If upgrading Cluster Federation components from 1.3.x, please ensure your cluster name is a valid DNS label (#30956, @nikhiljindal)
- kubelet's `--config` flag has been deprecated, use `--pod-manifest-path` instead (#29999, @mtaufen)
- If upgrading Cluster Federation components from 1.3.x, be aware the federation-controller-manager now looks for a different secret name. Run the following to migrate (#28938, @madhusudancs)
- Kubernetes components no longer handle panics, and instead actively crash. All Kubernetes components should be run by something that actively restarts them. This is true of the default setups, but those with custom environments may need to double-check (#28800, @lavalamp)
- kubelet now defaults to `--cloud-provider=auto-detect`, use `--cloud-provider=''` to preserve previous default of no cloud provider (#28258, @vishh)

### DELETE operation in REST API
* **Replication controller & Replicaset**: the DELETE request of a replication controller or a replicaset becomes asynchronous by default. The object will continue to exist in the key-value store for some time. The API server will set its metadata.deletionTimestamp, add the "orphan" finalizer to its metadata.finalizers. The object will be deleted from the key-value store after the garbage collector orphans its dependents. Please refer to this [user-guide](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/garbage-collector/) for more information regarding the garbage collection.
* **Other objects**: no changes unless you explicitly request orphaning.
* Fix a bug in kubelet hostport logic which flushes KUBE-MARK-MASQ iptables chain ([#32413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32413), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))
* Stick to 2.2.1 etcd ([#32404](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32404), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* Use etcd 2.3.7 ([#32359](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32359), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* AWS: Change default networking for kube-up to kubenet ([#32239](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32239), [@zmerlynn](https://github.com/zmerlynn))
* Make sure finalizers prevent deletion on storage that supports graceful deletion ([#32351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32351), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* Some components like kube-dns and kube-proxy could fail to load the service account token when started within a pod. Properly handle empty configurations to try loading the service account config. ([#31947](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31947), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
* Use federated namespace instead of the bootstrap cluster's namespace in Ingress e2e tests. ([#32105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32105), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))
* The NamespaceExists and NamespaceAutoProvision admission controllers have been removed. ([#31250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31250), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
* All cluster operators should use NamespaceLifecycle.
* Federation binaries and their corresponding docker images - `federation-apiserver` and `federation-controller-manager` are now folded in to the `hyperkube` binary. If you were using one of these binaries or docker images, please switch to using the `hyperkube` version. Please refer to the federation manifests - `federation/manifests/federation-apiserver.yaml` and `federation/manifests/federation-controller-manager-deployment.yaml` for examples. ([#29929](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29929), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))
* Use upgraded container-vm by default on worker nodes for GCE k8s clusters ([#31023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31023), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))
### Other notable changes

* Federation can now be deployed using the `federation/deploy/deploy.sh` script. This script does not depend on any of the development environment shell library/scripts. This is an alternative to the current `federation-up.sh`/`federation-down.sh` scripts. Both the scripts are going to co-exist in this release, but the `federation-up.sh`/`federation-down.sh` scripts might be removed in a future release in favor of `federation/deploy/deploy.sh` script. ([#30744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30744), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))
* rkt: Force `rkt fetch` to fetch from remote to conform the image pull policy. ([#31378](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31378), [@yifan-gu](https://github.com/yifan-gu))

* Remove environment variables and internal Kubernetes Docker labels from cAdvisor Prometheus metric labels. ([#31064](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31064), [@grobie](https://github.com/grobie))
* Old behavior:
* - environment variables explicitly whitelisted via --docker-env-metadata-whitelist were exported as `container_env_*=*`. Default is zero so by default non were exported
* - all docker labels were exported as `container_label_*=*`
* New behavior:
* - Only `container_name`, `pod_name`, `namespace`, `id`, `image`, and `name` labels are exposed
* - no environment variables will be exposed ever via /metrics, even if whitelisted
* Refactor to simplify the hard-traveled path of the KubeletConfiguration object ([#29216](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29216), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

* Update cadvisor to v0.23.9 to fix a problem where attempting to gather container filesystem usage statistics could result in corrupted devicemapper thin pool storage for Docker. ([#30307](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30307), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))
* Moved init-container feature from alpha to beta. ([#31026](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31026), [@erictune](https://github.com/erictune))
* Security Action Required:
* This only applies to you if you use the PodSecurityPolicy feature. You are using that feature if `kubectl get podsecuritypolicy` returns one or more objects. If it returns an error, you are not using it.
* If there are any pods with the key `pods.beta.kubernetes.io/init-containers`, then that pod may not have been filtered by the PodSecurityPolicy. You should find such pods and either delete them or audit them to ensure they do not use features that you intend to be blocked by PodSecurityPolicy.
* Explanation of Feature
* In 1.3, an init container is specified with this annotation key
* on the pod or pod template: `pods.alpha.kubernetes.io/init-containers`.
* In 1.4, either that key or this key: `pods.beta.kubernetes.io/init-containers`,
* can be used.
* When you GET an object, you will see both annotation keys with the same values.
* You can safely roll back from 1.4 to 1.3, and things with init-containers
* will still work (pods, deployments, etc).
* If you are running 1.3, only use the alpha annotation, or it may be lost when
* rolling forward.
* The status has moved from annotation key
*`pods.beta.kubernetes.io/init-container-statuses` to
* Any code that inspects this annotation should be changed to use the new key.
* State of Initialization will continue to be reported in both pods.alpha.kubernetes.io/initialized
* and in `podStatus.conditions.{status: "True", type: Initialized}`
* Action required: federation-only: Please update your cluster name to be a valid DNS label. ([#30956](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30956), [@nikhiljindal](https://github.com/nikhiljindal))
* Updating federation.v1beta1.Cluster API to disallow subdomains as valid cluster names. Only DNS labels are allowed as valid cluster names now.
* [Kubelet] Rename `--config` to `--pod-manifest-path`. `--config` is deprecated. ([#29999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29999), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))
### Other notable changes
* rkt: Improve support for privileged pod (pod whose all containers are privileged) ([#31286](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31286), [@yifan-gu](https://github.com/yifan-gu))
* The pod annotation `security.alpha.kubernetes.io/sysctls` now allows customization of namespaced and well isolated kernel parameters (sysctls), starting with `kernel.shm_rmid_forced`, `net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range` and `net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies` for Kubernetes 1.4. ([#27180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27180), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* The pod annotation `security.alpha.kubernetes.io/unsafe-sysctls` allows customization of namespaced sysctls where isolation is unclear. Unsafe sysctls must be enabled at-your-own-risk on the kubelet with the `--experimental-allowed-unsafe-sysctls` flag. Future versions will improve on resource isolation and more sysctls will be considered safe.
* Increase request timeout based on termination grace period ([#31275](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31275), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

* Add readyReplicas to replica sets ([#29481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29481), [@kargakis](https://github.com/kargakis))
* The implicit registration of Prometheus metrics for request count and latency have been removed, and a plug-able interface was added. If you were using our client libraries in your own binaries and want these metrics, add the following to your imports in the main package: "k8s.io/pkg/client/metrics/prometheus". ([#30638](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30638), [@krousey](https://github.com/krousey))

* The Kubelet now supports the `--require-kubeconfig` option which reads all client config from the provided `--kubeconfig` file and will cause the Kubelet to exit with error code 1 on error. It also forces the Kubelet to use the server URL from the kubeconfig file rather than the `--api-servers` flag. Without this flag set, a failure to read the kubeconfig file would only result in a warning message. ([#30798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30798), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
* In a future release, the value of this flag will be defaulted to `true`.

* Change eviction policies in NodeController: ([#28897](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28897), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* - add a "partialDisruption" mode, when more than 33% of Nodes in the zone are not Ready
* - add "fullDisruption" mode, when all Nodes in the zone are not Ready
* Eviction behavior depends on the mode in which NodeController is operating:
* - if the new state is "partialDisruption" or "fullDisruption" we call a user defined function that returns a new QPS to use (default 1/10 of the default rate, and the default rate respectively),
* - if the new state is "normal" we resume normal operation (go back to default limiter settings),
* - if all zones in the cluster are in "fullDisruption" state we stop all evictions.

The following versions of Docker Engine are supported - *[v1.10](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/19720)*, *[v1.11](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/23397)*
Although *v1.9* is still compatible, we recommend upgrading to one of the supported versions.
All prior versions of docker will not be supported.
If you use ThirdPartyResource objects, they have moved from being namespaced-scoped to be cluster-scoped. Before upgrading to 1.3.0, export and delete any existing ThirdPartyResource objects using a 1.2.x client:
kubectl get thirdpartyresource --all-namespaces -o yaml > tprs.yaml
kubectl delete -f tprs.yaml
After upgrading to 1.3.0, re-register the third party resource objects at the root scope (using a 1.3 server and client):
kubectl create -f tprs.yaml
#### kubectl
Kubectl flag `--container-port` flag is deprecated: it will be removed in the future, please use `--target-port` instead.

* Kubernetes v1.3 introduces a new Attach/Detach Controller. This controller manages attaching and detaching of volumes on-behalf of nodes. ([#26351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26351), [@saad-ali](https://github.com/saad-ali))
* This ensures that attachment and detachment of volumes is independent of any single nodes’ availability. Meaning, if a node or kubelet becomes unavailable for any reason, the volumes attached to that node will be detached so they are free to be attached to other nodes.
* Specifically the new controller watches the API server for scheduled pods. It processes each pod and ensures that any volumes that implement the volume Attacher interface are attached to the node their pod is scheduled to.
* When a pod is deleted, the controller waits for the volume to be safely unmounted by kubelet. It does this by waiting for the volume to no longer be present in the nodes Node.Status.VolumesInUse list. If the volume is not safely unmounted by kubelet within a pre-configured duration (3 minutes in Kubernetes v1.3), the controller unilaterally detaches the volume (this prevents volumes from getting stranded on nodes that become unavailable).
* In order to remain backwards compatible, the new controller only manages attach/detach of volumes that are scheduled to nodes that opt-in to controller management. Nodes running v1.3 or higher of Kubernetes opt-in to controller management by default by setting the "volumes.kubernetes.io/controller-managed-attach-detach" annotation on the Node object on startup. This behavior is gated by a new kubelet flag, "enable-controller-attach-detach,” (default true).
* In order to safely upgrade an existing Kubernetes cluster without interruption of volume attach/detach logic:
* First upgrade the master to Kubernetes v1.3.
* This will start the new attach/detach controller.
* The new controller will initially ignore volumes for all nodes since they lack the "volumes.kubernetes.io/controller-managed-attach-detach" annotation.
* Then upgrade nodes to Kubernetes v1.3.
* As nodes are upgraded, they will automatically, by default, opt-in to attach/detach controller management, which will cause the controller to start managing attaches/detaches for volumes that get scheduled to those nodes.

*<code>apiVersion: batch/v1 </code>is now available. You now do not need to specify the <code>.spec.selector</code> field — a [unique selector is automatically generated ](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jobs/#pod-selector)for you.
* Node stability can be improved by reserving [resources](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/docs/proposals/node-allocatable.md) for the base operating system using --system-reserved and --kube-reserved Kubelet flags
* Liveness and readiness probes now support more configuration parameters:
periodSeconds, successThreshold, failureThreshold
* The new ReplicaSet API (Beta) in the Extensions API group is similar to
ReplicationController, but its [selector](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#label-selectors) is more general (supports set-based selector; whereas ReplicationController
only supports equality-based selector).
* Scale subresource support is now expanded to ReplicaSets along with
ReplicationControllers and Deployments. Scale now supports two different types
of selectors to accommodate both [equality-based selectors](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#equality-based-requirement) supported by ReplicationControllers and [set-based selectors](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#set-based-requirement) supported by Deployments and ReplicaSets.
* “kubectl run” now produces Deployments (instead of ReplicationControllers) and
Jobs (instead of Pods) by default.
* Pods can now consume Secret data in environment variables and inject those
environment variables into a container’s command-line args.
* Stable version of Heapster which scales up to 1000 nodes: more metrics, reduced
latency, reduced cpu/memory consumption (~4mb per monitored node).
* Pods now have a security context which allows users to specify:
* attributes which apply to the whole pod:
* User ID
* Whether all containers should be non-root
* Supplemental Groups
* FSGroup - a special supplemental group
* SELinux options
* If a pod defines an FSGroup, that Pod’s system (emptyDir, secret, configMap,
etc) volumes and block-device volumes will be owned by the FSGroup, and each
container in the pod will run with the FSGroup as a supplemental group
* Volumes that support SELinux labelling are now automatically relabeled with the
* A stable client library release\_1\_2 is added. The library is [here](pkg/client/clientset_generated/), and detailed doc is [here](docs/devel/generating-clientset.md#released-clientsets). We will keep the interface of this go client stable.
* New Azure File Service Volume Plugin enables mounting Microsoft Azure File
Volumes (SMB 2.1 and 3.0) into a Pod. See [example](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/examples/azure_file/README.md) for details.
among the schedulers for each pod. Documentation is [here](http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/multiple-schedulers.md), design doc is [here](docs/proposals/multiple-schedulers.md).
* More expressive node affinity syntax, and support for “soft” node affinity.
Node selectors (to constrain pods to schedule on a subset of nodes) now support
the operators {<code>In, NotIn, Exists, DoesNotExist, Gt, Lt</code>} instead of just conjunction of exact match on node label values. In
addition, we’ve introduced a new “soft” kind of node selector that is just a
hint to the scheduler; the scheduler will try to satisfy these requests but it
does not guarantee they will be satisfied. Both the “hard” and “soft” variants
of node affinity use the new syntax. Documentation is [here](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/node-selection/) (see section “Alpha feature in Kubernetes v1.2: Node Affinity“). Design doc is [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/docs/design/nodeaffinity.md).
* A pod can specify its own Hostname and Subdomain via annotations (<code>pod.beta.kubernetes.io/hostname, pod.beta.kubernetes.io/subdomain)</code>. If the Subdomain matches the name of a [headless service](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/services/#headless-services) in the same namespace, a DNS A record is also created for the pod’s FQDN. More
details can be found in the [DNS README](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/cluster/saltbase/salt/kube-dns/README.md#a-records-and-hostname-based-on-pod-annotations---a-beta-feature-in-kubernetes-v12). Changes were introduced in PR [#20688](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/20688).
by Kubernetes. Changes were introduced in PR [#13580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/13580). Example configuration and documentation is available [here](docs/design/scheduler_extender.md). This is an alpha feature and may not be supported in its current form at beta
* Kubelet exposes a new Alpha metrics API - /stats/summary in a user friendly format with reduced system overhead. The measurement is done in PR [#22542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/22542).
* Docker v1.9.1 is officially recommended. Docker v1.8.3 and Docker v1.10 are
supported. If you are using an older release of Docker, please upgrade. Known
issues with Docker 1.9.1 can be found below.
* CPU hardcapping will be enabled by default for containers with CPU limit set,
if supported by the kernel. You should either adjust your CPU limit, or set CPU
request only, if you want to avoid hardcapping. If the kernel does not support
CPU Quota, NodeStatus will contain a warning indicating that CPU Limits cannot
be enforced.
* The following applies only if you use the Go language client (<code>/pkg/client/unversioned</code>) to create Job by defining Go variables of type "<code>k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/apis/extensions".Job</code>). We think <strong>this is not common</strong>, so if you are not sure what this means, you probably aren't doing this. If
you do this, then, at the time you re-vendor the "<code>k8s.io/kubernetes/"</code> code, you will need to set <code>job.Spec.ManualSelector = true</code>, or else set <code>job.Spec.Selector = nil. </code>Otherwise, the jobs you create may be rejected. See [Specifying your own pod selector](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jobs/#specifying-your-own-pod-selector).
* Before upgrading to 1.2, <strong>delete all Deployment alpha-version resources</strong>, including the Replication Controllers and Pods the Deployment manages. Then
create Deployment Beta resources after upgrading to 1.2. Not deleting the
Deployment objects may cause the deployment controller to mistakenly match
other pods and delete them, due to the selector API change.
* Client (kubectl) and server versions must match (both 1.1 or both 1.2) for any
* Deployment creates ReplicaSets instead of ReplicationControllers.
* Scale subresource now has a new <code>targetSelector</code> field in its status. This field supports the new set-based selectors supported
by Deployments, but in a serialized format.
* Spec change:
* Deployment’s [selector](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#label-selectors) is now more general (supports set-based selector; it only supported
* Before upgrading to 1.2, <strong>delete all DaemonSet alpha-version resources</strong>. If you do not want to disrupt the pods, use kubectl delete daemonset <name>
* DaemonSet pods will be created on nodes with .spec.unschedulable=true and will
not be evicted from nodes whose Ready condition is false.
* Updates to the pod template are now permitted. To perform a rolling update of a
DaemonSet, update the pod template and then delete its pods one by one; they
will be replaced using the updated template.
* Spec change:
* DaemonSet’s [selector](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#label-selectors) is now more general (supports set-based selector; it only supported
equality-based selector in 1.1).
* Running against a secured etcd requires these flags to be passed to
kube-apiserver (instead of --etcd-config):
* --etcd-certfile, --etcd-keyfile (if using client cert auth)
* --etcd-cafile (if not using system roots)
* As part of preparation in 1.2 for adding support for protocol buffers (and the
direct YAML support in the API available today), the Content-Type and Accept
headers are now properly handled as per the HTTP spec. As a consequence, if
you had a client that was sending an invalid Content-Type or Accept header to
the API, in 1.2 you will either receive a 415 or 406 error.
The only client
this is known to affect is curl when you use -d with JSON but don't set a
content type, helpfully sends "application/x-www-urlencoded", which is not
correct.
Other client authors should double check that you are sending proper
accept and content type headers, or set no value (in which case JSON is the
* Listing containers can be slow at times which will affect kubelet performance.

* Docker daemon restarts can fail. Docker checkpoints have to deleted between
restarts. More information [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/20995)
* Pod IP allocation-related issues. Deleting the docker checkpoint prior to
restarting the daemon alleviates this issue, but hasn’t been verified to
completely eliminate the IP allocation issue. More information [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/21523#issuecomment-191498969)
