- Easier to get a cluster up and running (eg: `kubeadm`, intra-cluster bootstrapping)
  - Easier to understand a cluster (eg: API audit logs, server-based API defaults)
- **Stateful Application Support**
  - Enhanced persistence capabilities (eg: `StorageClasses`, new volume plugins)
  - New resources and scheduler features (eg: `ScheduledJob` resource, pod/node affinity/anti-affinity)
- **Cluster Federation**
