The `IngressClass` resource is used to describe a type of Ingress within a Kubernetes cluster. Ingresses can specify the class they are associated with by using a new `ingressClassName` field on Ingresses. This new resource and field replace the deprecated `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation.

### SIG CLI introduces kubectl debug

## Known Issues for v1.6.5

* If you use the [GLBC Ingress Controller](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/tree/0.9.0-beta.1/controllers/gce),
  upgrading an existing pre-v1.6.4 cluster to Kubernetes v1.6.5 will cause an unintentional
  [overwrite of manual edits to GCP Health Checks](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/issues/842)
  managed by the GLBC Ingress Controller. This can cause the health checks to start failing,

* Due to an issue in ingress-gce controller in 1.10.0, creating multi-cluster ingresses with [kubemci CLI](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/k8s-multicluster-ingress) fails. This will be fixed in 1.10.1 release. ([GoogleCloudPlatform/k8s-multicluster-ingress#175](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/k8s-multicluster-ingress/issues/175))

## Deprecations

- Resolves flakes in the Ingress conformance tests due to conflicts with controllers updating the Ingress object ([#98430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98430), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Network and Testing]

## Dependencies

### Added

// LoadBalancerIngress represents the status of a load-balancer ingress point:
// traffic intended for the service should be sent to an ingress point.
message LoadBalancerIngress {
  // IP is set for load-balancer ingress points that are IP based
  // (typically GCE or OpenStack load-balancers)
  // +optional
  optional string ip = 1;

  // Hostname is set for load-balancer ingress points that are DNS based

  - The `--make-symlinks` flag is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. ([#74975](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74975), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
