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.

 *  **There is no longer a global singleton connection pool.** In OkHttp 2.x,

    * Implemented `kubeadm upgrade apply` for upgrading your cluster from one version to an other

TLS for secure communication and L7 http-based traffic routing.
     * Graceful Node Shutdown (aka drain) - The new “kubectl drain” command gracefully
evicts pods from nodes in preparation for disruptive operations like kernel
upgrades or maintenance.
     * Custom Metrics for Autoscaling (HorizontalPodAutoscaler API in the Autoscaling
API group): The Horizontal Pod Autoscaling feature now supports custom metrics
