## External Dependencies

Continuous integration builds use Docker versions 1.11.2, 1.12.6, 1.13.1,
and 17.03.2. These versions were validated on Kubernetes 1.8. However,
consult an appropriate installation or upgrade guide before deciding what
versions of Docker to use.

- Docker 1.13.1 and 17.03.2

    - Shared PID namespace, live-restore, and overlay2 were validated.

- Ensure Azure availability zone is always in lower cases. ([#89722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89722), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fix failing conformance when using docker container runtime w/ the docker/journald logging driver. [#87933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87933) ([#88586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88586), [@jdef](https://github.com/jdef)) [SIG Node]

* On GCI, NPD starts to monitor kubelet, docker, containerd crashlooping, read-only filesystem and corrupt docker overlay2 issues. ([#71522](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71522), [@wangzhen127](https://github.com/wangzhen127))

* kubeadm now detects the Docker cgroup driver and starts the kubelet with the matching driver. This eliminates a common error experienced by new users in when the Docker cgroup driver is not the same as the one set for the kubelet due to different Linux distributions setting different cgroup drivers for Docker, making it hard to start the kubelet properly.
