 * <p>{@link Stream} is similar to this class, but generally more powerful, and certainly more
 * standard. Key differences include:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>A stream is <i>single-use</i>; it becomes invalid as soon as any "terminal operation" such
 *       as {@code findFirst()} or {@code iterator()} is invoked. (Even though {@code Stream}
 *       contains all the right method <i>signatures</i> to implement {@link Iterable}, it does not

 *       Thread acquires its first hold (and releases its last remaining hold).
 *   <li>Before the lock is acquired, the lock is checked against the current set of acquired
 *       locks---to each of the acquired locks, an edge from the soon-to-be-acquired lock is either
 *       verified or created.
 *   <li>If a new edge needs to be created, the outgoing edges of the acquired locks are traversed

            // effective model.
            //
            // As of 3.4, the model version is mandatory even in raw models. The XML element still is optional in the
            // XML schema and this will not change anytime soon. We do not want to build effective models based on
            // models without a version starting with 3.4.

                // here, messages are rejected with NOT_SUPPORTED if we start signing as soon as we can, wait until
                // session setup complete

     * <p>Prefer the equivalent method {@link #buildOrThrow()} to make it explicit that the method
     * will throw an exception if there are duplicate keys. The {@code build()} method will soon be
     * deprecated.
     *
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if any two keys are equal according to the comparator (which
     *     might be the keys' natural order)

  Additionally, the FailureTarget condition is also added to the Job object in the first Job
  status update as soon as the failure conditions are met (backoffLimit is exceeded, maxFailedIndexes, 
  or activeDeadlineSeconds is exceeded).
  
  Similarly, the SuccessCriteriaMet condition is added in the first update as soon as the expected number
  of pod completions is reached.
  

#### New Deprecations

* As a reminder, etcd2 as a backend is deprecated and support will be removed in Kubernetes 1.13. Please ensure that your clusters are upgraded to etcd3 as soon as possible.

## Provider-specific Notes

* AWS
  * Support for ap-northeast-2 region (Seoul)
  * Allow cross-region image pulling with ECR
  * More reliable kube-up/kube-down
  * Enable ICMP Type 3 Code 4 for ELBs

  * Passed all the Kubernetes 1.7 end-to-end conformance test suites.
  * Verification against Kubernetes 1.8 is planned soon after the release.

* [stable] [frakti](https://github.com/kubernetes/frakti): CRI implementation for hypervisor-based runtimes is now v1.1. [[@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)]

       * because their next fields won't change. Statistically, at the default threshold, only
       * about one-sixth of them need cloning when a table doubles. The nodes they replace will be
       * garbage collectable as soon as they are no longer referenced by any reader thread that may
       * be in the midst of traversing table right now.
