declaratively. It handles versioning, multiple simultaneous rollouts,
aggregating status across all pods, maintaining application availability, and
rollback.
  * <strong>Automated cluster management: </strong>
     * Kubernetes clusters can now span zones within a cloud provider. Pods from a
service will be automatically spread across zones, enabling applications to
tolerate zone failure.

- `-- kube-controller-manager`
  `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 int32`     Default: 24. Mask size for IPv4 node-cidr in dual-stack cluster.
`--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6 int32`     Default: 64. Mask size for IPv6 node-cidr in dual-stack cluster.

    These 2 flags can be used only for dual-stack clusters. For non dual-stack clusters, continue to use  `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag to configure the mask size.

## 1. Overview

The SMB Witness Protocol enables rapid notification of resource changes in a clustered file server environment. It provides fast failover capabilities by allowing clients to register for notifications about server node availability, share movement, and other critical cluster events.

- In "large" clusters, kube-proxy in iptables mode will now sometimes
  leave unused rules in iptables for a while (up to `--iptables-sync-period`)
  before deleting them. This improves performance by not requiring it to
  check for stale rules on every sync. (In smaller clusters, it will still

For 1.13, the areas of focus were in IPv6, DNS improvements and some smaller items:
CoreDNS is now the default cluster DNS passing all of the scale/resource usage tests
