+      The Kubernetes DNS addons, kube-dns, has been replaced with CoreDNS.

+      <link xlink:href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.11.md#sig-cluster-lifecycle">Kubernetes v1.11</link>.
+      Please beware that upgrading DNS-addon on existing clusters might induce
+      minor downtime while the DNS-addon terminates and re-initializes.
+      Also note that the DNS-service now runs with 2 pod replicas by default.
