+***Editor's note: today's post is by the [1.10 Release
+Team](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/releases/release-1.10/release_team.md)***
+
+We’re pleased to announce the delivery of Kubernetes 1.10, our first release
+of 2018!
+
+Today’s release continues to advance maturity, extensibility, and pluggability
+of Kubernetes. This newest version stabilizes features in 3 key areas,
+including storage, security, and networking. Notable additions in this release
+include the introduction of external kubectl credential providers (alpha), the
+ability to switch DNS service to CoreDNS at install time (beta), and the move
+of Container Storage Interface (CSI) and persistent local volumes to beta.
+
+Let’s dive into the key features of this release:
+
+## Storage - CSI and Local Storage move to beta
+
+This is an impactful release for [the Storage Special Interest Group
+(SIG)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-storage),
+marking the culmination of their work on multiple features. The [Kubernetes
+implementation](https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/178) of the
+[Container Storage
+Interface](https://github.com/container-storage-interface/spec/blob/master/spec.md)
+(CSI) moves to beta in this release: installing new volume plugins is now as
+easy as deploying a pod. This in turn enables third-party storage providers to
+develop their solutions independently outside of the core Kubernetes codebase.
+This continues the thread of extensibility within the Kubernetes ecosystem.
+
+[Durable (non-shared) local storage
+management](https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/121) progressed to
+beta in this release, making locally attached (non-network attached) storage
+available as a persistent volume source. This means higher performance and
+lower cost for distributed file systems and databases.
+
+This release also includes many updates to Persistent Volumes. Kubernetes can
+automatically [prevent deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are in use by
+a pod](https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/498) (beta) and [prevent
+deletion of a Persistent Volume that is bound to a Persistent Volume Claim
+](https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/499)(beta). This helps ensure
+that storage API objects are deleted in the correct order.
+
+## Security - External credential providers (alpha)
+
+Kubernetes, which is
+already highly extensible, gains another extension point in 1.10 with
+[external kubectl credential
+providers](https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/541) (alpha). Cloud
+providers, vendors, and other platform developers can now release binary
+plugins to handle authentication for specific cloud-provider IAM services, or
+that integrate with in-house authentication systems that aren’t supported
+in-tree, such as Active Directory. This complements the [Cloud Controller
+Manager](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/running-cloud-controller/)
+feature added in 1.9.
+
+## Networking - CoreDNS as a DNS provider (beta)
+
+The ability to [switch the DNS
+service](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/7638) to CoreDNS at
+[install time](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/coredns/)
+is now in beta. CoreDNS has fewer moving parts: it’s a single executable and a
+single process, and supports additional use cases.
+
+Each Special Interest Group (SIG) within the community continues to deliver
+the most-requested enhancements, fixes, and functionality for their respective
+specialty areas. For a complete list of inclusions by SIG, please visit the
+[release
+notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.10.md#110-release-notes).
+
+## Availability
+
+Kubernetes 1.10 is available for [download on
+GitHub](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.10.0). To get
+started with Kubernetes, check out these i[nteractive
+tutorials](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/).
+
+## 2 Day Features Blog Series
+
+If you’re interested in exploring these features
+more in depth, check back next week for our 2 Days of Kubernetes series where
+we’ll highlight detailed walkthroughs of the following features:
+
+Day 1 - Container Storage Interface (CSI) for Kubernetes going Beta
+Day 2 - Local Persistent Volumes for Kubernetes going Beta
+
+## Release team
+
+This release is made possible through the effort of hundreds of
+individuals who contributed both technical and non-technical content. Special
+thanks to the [release
+team](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/releases/release-1.10/release_team.md)
+led by Jaice Singer DuMars, Kubernetes Ambassador for Microsoft. The 10
+individuals on the release team coordinate many aspects of the release, from
+documentation to testing, validation, and feature completeness.
+
+As the Kubernetes community has grown, our release process represents an
+amazing demonstration of collaboration in open source software development.
+Kubernetes continues to gain new users at a rapid clip. This growth creates a
+positive feedback cycle where more contributors commit code creating a more
+vibrant ecosystem.
+
+## Project Velocity
+
+The CNCF has continued refining an ambitious project to
+visualize the myriad contributions that go into the project. [K8s
+DevStats](https://devstats.k8s.io/) illustrates the breakdown of contributions
+from major company contributors, as well as an impressive set of preconfigured
+reports on everything from individual contributors to pull request lifecycle
+times. Thanks to increased automation, issue count at the end of the release
+was only slightly higher than it was at the beginning. This marks a major
+shift toward issue manageability. With 75,000+ comments, Kubernetes remains
+one of the most actively discussed projects on GitHub.
+
+## User Highlights
+
+According to a [recent CNCF
+survey](https://www.cncf.io/blog/2018/03/26/cncf-survey-china/), more than 49%
+of Asia-based respondents use Kubernetes in production, with another 49%
+evaluating it for use in production. Established, global organizations are
+using [Kubernetes in production](https://kubernetes.io/case-studies/) at
+massive scale. Recently published user stories from the community include:
+1. **Huawei**, the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the
+world, [moved its internal IT department’s applications to run on
+Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/case-studies/huawei/). This resulted in the
+global deployment cycles decreasing from a week to minutes, and the efficiency
+of application delivery improved by tenfold.
+1. **Jinjiang Travel International**, one of the top 5 largest OTA and hotel
+companies, use Kubernetes to [speed up their software release
+velocity](https://www.linux.com/blog/managing-production-systems-kubernetes-chinese-enterprises)
+from hours to just minutes. Additionally, they leverage Kubernetes to increase
+the scalability and availability of their online workloads.
+1. **Haufe Group**, the Germany-based media and software company, utilized
+Kubernetes to [deliver a new release in half an
+hour](https://kubernetes.io/case-studies/haufegroup/) instead of days. The
+company is also able to scale down to around half the capacity at night,
+saving 30 percent on hardware costs.
+1. **BlackRock**, the world’s largest asset manager, was able to move quickly
+using Kubernetes and built an investor research web app from [inception to
+delivery in under 100 days](https://kubernetes.io/case-studies/blackrock/).

+with the community.
+
+## Ecosystem Updates
+
+1. The CNCF is expanding its certification offerings to
+include a Certified Kubernetes Application Developer exam. The CKAD exam
+certifies an individual's ability to design, build, configure, and expose
+cloud native applications for Kubernetes. The CNCF is looking for beta testers
+for this new program. More information can be found
+[here](https://www.cncf.io/blog/2018/03/16/cncf-announces-ckad-exam/).
+1. Kubernetes documentation now features [user
+journeys](https://k8s.io/docs/home/): specific pathways for learning based on
+who readers are and what readers want to do. Learning Kubernetes is easier
+than ever for beginners, and more experienced users can find task journeys
+specific to cluster admins and application developers.
+1. CNCF also offers [online
+training](https://www.cncf.io/certification/training/) that teaches the skills
+needed to create and configure a real-world Kubernetes cluster.
+
+## KubeCon
+
+The world’s largest Kubernetes gathering, [KubeCon +
+CloudNativeCon](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2018/)
+is coming to Copenhagen from May 2-4, 2018 and will feature technical
+sessions, case studies, developer deep dives, salons and more! Check out the
