Kubernetes is a large open source project. Let's look at some of the planned features and upcoming releases, as well the various special interest groups that focus on specific areas.
Kubernetes has fairly regular releases. The current release as of April 2017 is 1.6.1. The next release 1.7 is about 22% done. Here are a couple of issues from the 1.7 releases to give you a taste of the work being done:
