### Timeouts ([.kt][ConfigureTimeoutsKotlin], [.java][ConfigureTimeoutsJava])

Use timeouts to fail a call when its peer is unreachable. Network partitions can be due to client connectivity problems, server availability problems, or anything between. OkHttp supports connect, write, read, and full call timeouts.

    ```kotlin
      private val client: OkHttpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder()

     * * **Unreachable IP addresses.** If the URL's host has multiple IP addresses,
     *   failure to reach any individual IP address doesn't fail the overall request. This can
     *   increase availability of multi-homed services.
     *
     * * **Stale pooled connections.** The [ConnectionPool] reuses sockets
     *   to decrease request latency, but these connections will occasionally time out.

### SIG Azure

For 1.13 SIG Azure was focused on adding additional Azure Disk support for Ultra SSD, Standard SSD, and Premium Azure Files. Azure Availability Zones and cross resource group nodes were also moved from Alpha to Beta in 1.13.

### SIG Big Data

    * This ensures that attachment and detachment of volumes is independent of any single nodes’ availability. Meaning, if a node or kubelet becomes unavailable for any reason, the volumes attached to that node will be detached so they are free to be attached to other nodes.
