Kubernetes 1.18 - What's new?

Another quarter has passed and the community doesn't stop, a new version of Kubernetes is available!

We have reached version 1.18 and with it more new features, more stability for components, and many graduations to stable. An incredible milestone was set this time with 3412 commits; the community has truly put in a lot of effort, and we have all been seeing the fruits of this.

Let's look at the list of new features we have selected for you:

• Kubectl alpha debug — https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88004

• Kubectl run - removed the previously deprecated generators, along with flags unrelated to creating pods. kubectl run now only creates pods. See specific kubectl create subcommands to create objects other than pods. (#87077, @soltysh) [SIG Architecture, CLI and Testing]

• StartupProbe (#83437, @matthyx) [SIG Node, Scalability and Testing]

• Kubectl diff — https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/491
   https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#diff

• Immutable Secrets and ConfigMaps —

• Ingress graduated to V1 — https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/1453

• ContainerD Support for windows — https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/1001

• NodeLocal DNSCache — https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/release/notes/#other-notable-announcements

• Kubectl --dry-run — https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/release/notes/#kubectl-1

We always have many things, and of course, it is always worth taking a look at the full changelog here as well as a table listing all the changes
