If you want to cherry-pick this change to another branch, please follow the instructions here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/cherry-picks.md. Deprecation notice of the storage-versions flag This PR deprecates the `--storage-versions` flag of kube-apiserver. The flag allows user to change the API version the content in etcd will be serialized to. The flag provides unnecessary flexibility, with the side-effect of making kube-apiserver upgrades/downgrades hard to reason about. Specifically, Kubernetes follows the 4-step API version deprecation [policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-policy/), which makes upgrades/downgrades across minor versions safe as long as all the data in etcd is encoded to the default storage versions. However, if users can specify their own storage versions, then the safety of each upgrade/downgrade needs to be analyzed case-by-case. ```release-note Action required: The --storage-versions flag of kube-apiserver is deprecated. Please omit this flag to ensure the default storage versions are used. Otherwise the cluster is not safe to upgrade to a version newer than 1.12. This flag will be removed in 1.13. ``` /assign @deads2k @liggitt @lavalamp @enj /sig api-machinery |

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
For the full story, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide, and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
