CoreOS and Upstream Hyperkube Images

[Ryan Phillips]

Greetings,

CoreOS has typically created a new Hyperkube image on Kubernetes releases

containing small patches hosted on Quay.io [1] based on the upstream Hyperkube

hosted on GCR [2]. Since both images are similar in functionality and the

upstream image is as good as ours, we are going to start leveraging the upstream

image more.

We are continuing support for our Hyperkube image for Kubernetes 1.8, 1.9, and

1.10. We will not be deleting old images, and will be continuing to build new

images based on point releases, but don't plan on releasing images for the 1.11

series. If you currently depend on our quay images, the k8s.gcr.io ones are a drop

in replacement.

Regards,

Ryan Phillips
