Kubernetes 1.15: Extensibility and Continuous Improvement
The 1.15 Release Team

We’re pleased to announce the delivery of Kubernetes 1.15, our second release of 2019! Kubernetes 1.15 consists of 25 enhancements: 2 moving to stable, 13 in beta, and 10 in alpha. The main themes of this release are:

Continuous Improvement
Project sustainability is not just about features. Many SIGs have been working on improving test coverage, ensuring the basics stay reliable, and stability of the core feature set and working on maturing existing features and cleaning up the backlog.
Extensibility
The community has been asking for continuing support of extensibility, so this cycle features more work around CRDs and API Machinery. Most of the enhancements in this cycle were from SIG API Machinery and related areas.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China wrapped up. Over 3,500 people attended. See the pictures and the videos will be online soon.

#KubeCon musings: It'll be interesting now we have structural CRDs to see how many core types could be reimplemented as an "extension" with a CRD.
