summary
Kubernetes lands IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack in phases: a KEP in mid‑2018, late‑2017 start, then a three‑phase plan—egress, ingress, ecosystem—and the project changes pod and node APIs to accept multiple IPs. Phase one produces a ~5.5k‑line PR, review sharding attracts 18 reviewers. Missed v1.15 but ships in v1.16, delivering dual‑stack for ingress and egress; bootstrap, CNIs and external load‑balancers move through adoption and testing.
