Nick Chase from Mirantis quick intro into what we can expect from Kubernets 1.7. This release focusing on production features such as security, extensibility, and stateful applications.
Security - the most notable feature is that data that remains “at rest” such as Secrets and other resources stored in etcd, you now have the ability to protect that information from prying eyes (and programs) with encryption. The Network Policy API enables users to create rules that determine which pods can communicate with each other.
There are other interesting features related to:

- Extensibility
and the most intresting Api aggregation which enables new functionality to be added by user that can be accessed in a method similar to the core Kubernetes features.
