Some upgrade methods might upgrade etcd from 3.0 to 3.1 automatically when you upgrade from Kubernetes 1.8, unless you specify otherwise. Because [etcd does not support downgrading](https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/upgrades/upgrade_3_1.html), you'll need to either remain on etcd 3.1 or restore from a backup if you want to downgrade back to Kubernetes 1.8.

* **Tolerations**

* Implemented `kubeadm upgrade plan` for checking whether you can upgrade your cluster to a newer version ([#48899](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48899), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))
    * Implemented `kubeadm upgrade apply` for upgrading your cluster from one version to an other
