Also, please note:
- using `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` as the media storage type for 1.6 is default but not required
- the ability to rollback to etcd2 can be preserved by setting the storage media type flag on `kube-apiserver`

  ```
  --storage-media-type application/json
  ```

  to continue to use `application/json` as the storage media type which can be changed to
  `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` at a later time.

    * If the serialization type is application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf, and protobuf marshaling is not implemented for the requested API resource type, a '406 Not Acceptable is returned'.

- Resolves a spurious "Unknown discovery response content-type" error in client-go discovery requests by tolerating extra content-type parameters in API responses ([#117637](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117637), [@seans3](https://github.com/seans3)) [SIG API Machinery]

servers will ignore this representation or return an error if it is not available.  Clients may request fallback to the normal object by adding a non-qualified mime-type to their `Accept` header like `application/json` - the server will then respond with either the alternate representation if it is supported or the fallback mime-type which is the normal object response.

to Ingress: A new `pathType` field and a new `IngressClass` resource. The `pathType` field allows specifying how paths should be matched. In addition to the default `ImplementationSpecific` type, there are new `Exact` and `Prefix` path types. 

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...

- Certain fields on  Service objects will be automatically cleared when changing the service's `type` to a mode that does not need those fields.  For example, changing from type=LoadBalancer to type=ClusterIP will clear the NodePort assignments, rather than forcing the user to clear them.

  ### GCE
  - Decrease the number of GCE Read Requests made while deleting nodes
  - Base pricing of custom instances on their instance family type
  - Add pricing information for missing machine types
  - Add pricing information for different GPU types
  - Ignore the new `topology.gke.io/zone` label when comparing groups
  - Add missing stable labels to template nodes
