• Github started running on Kubernetes and its API and web requests start being served by running containers in clusters delayed in Kubernetes on the metal cloud. 

• Kelsey Hightower released Kubernetes the hard Way for learning purposes. To ensure you understand each topic of it. 

• First Kubernetes certified cloud-native computing foundation was announced around September 11. More than 

•  Certified services (KCSPs)  the founding class got started. 

• Oracle Joined the cloud Native computing foundation as a platinum member and sourced an installer for oracle cloud infrastructure and released Kubernetes on Oracle Linux. 

 

• With Kubernetes 1.8 release was a milestone for RBAC(role-based access control). For securing Kubernetes clusters. 

• Docker Fully embraces Kubernetes in October so devs and operators can build apps with Dockers to test and deploy them using docker swarm and Kubernetes. 

• Docker platform and Moby Project add Kubernetes stated to use both Kubernetes and Swarm to orchestrate containers workloads. around October 17 

• Microsoft introduces the AKS around October which was an Azure-hosted control plane with automated upgrades, self-healing m easy scale, and a simple user experience for developers & cluster operators customers get open source Kubernetes without operational overhead. 

• Amazon announces elastic container services for Kubernetes to deploy, manage and scale container apps using Kubernetes on AWS around November 29
