Kubernetes 1.16: A big step for CRDs, kubectl and Container Storage Interface

B-21 stealth bomber running Kubernetes for better SDLC experience

The new stealth U.S. Air Force B-21 bomber has taken yet another key technological step toward being ready for war, through integrated computer automation designed to streamline information, improve targeting and offer pilots organized warzone information in real-time. Air Force and Northrop Grumman developers recently completedan essential software-empowered process intended to bring greater levels of information processing, data management and new measures of computerized autonomy,according to published statements from Air Force Acquisition Executive Dr. William Roper. Through virtualization and software-hardware synergy, B-21 sensors, computers and electronics can better scale, deploy and streamline procedural functions such as checking avionics specifics, measuring altitude and speed and integrating otherwise disparate pools sensor information.

What’s new in Kubernetes 1.16?

What’s new in Kubernetes 1.16: Ephemeral containers for easy pod debugging, support for dual-stack network, new options for the scheduler and much more. These are the features that look more exciting to us for this release (ymmv): Ephemeral containers are a great way to debug running pods, as you can’t add regular containers to a pod after creation (you should use sysdig tools like kubectl capture or kubectl trace for that though!), but you can run ephemeral containers. Right now the steps to run an ephemeral container aren’t straightforward.
