“One of the main themes that we tried to align the cycle with, was around stability, that is focusing more on giving users a reliable and stable end of year refresh of capabilities, mostly focusing on graduating long term outstanding features that have had time to mature,” Aishwarya Sundar, release lead for Kubernetes 1.13 and Google Software Engineer, told eWEEK. “We also focussed this release on improving the reliability of features that are already in general availability, fixing any long term issues that might be out there.”
