v0.17.0

FEATURES: 🌈

• Kubernetes
  • Add'l version support:
    • v1.8.13 (Linux only)
      • Windows Kubernetes note: all future Kubernetes version support effort for Windows will focus on >= 1.9, as no further Windows-affecting changes are anticipated for the 1.7 and 1.8 release channels.
      • Default Kubernetes version for Windows-enabled clusters is now 1.9.7.
  • Update Calico to 3.1 (PR #2521 @dtzar)
  • VirtualMachineScaleSets support (PRs #2620 #2830 @sozercan)
  • Use addon-resizer 1.8.1 for k8s 1.9 and above (PR #2753 @jackfrancis)
  • Common cluster etcd encryption key (PR #2756 @CecileRobertMichon)
  • Add acs-engine version tag to provisioned clusters (PR #2782 @maniSbindra)
  • Update docker image for kms service (PR #2821 @ritazh)
  • Rationalize network config and k8s NetworkPolicy (PR #2813 #2854 #2884 @jackfrancis @saiyan86)
    • This PR adds a networkPlugin property to kubernetesConfig which carries configuration for the kubelet runtime --network-plugin option (and enforces related cluster configuration). Prior to this change, both network plugin config (e.g., "kubenet") and networkPolicy enforcement (e.g., what "calico" does) were defined under a common networkPolicy configuration key. Now networkPolicy carries only "network policy" config; and networkPlugin carries only "network plugin" config. Note: this change is backwards-compatible to support previous config patterns (e.g., "networkPolicy": "none")
