I installed Kubernetes 1.4 some time ago ... it runs about 4 microservces.

Problems unresolved :

* Kubernetes thinks the nodes are full but they're not. (I need to 
figure out how it's resource allocation works).

* How to upgrade - I think they're now on 1.7 and I'm wondering how to 
upgrade (or whether I should throw the cluster away and create a new one).
