Hi everyone,

The upcoming release of v1.14 Kubernetes will mark the MicroK8s switch to Containerd and enhanced security. As this is a big step forward we would like to give you a heads up and offer you a  
preview of what is coming. Give it a test drive with:

```auto
snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.13/edge/secure-containerd

```

You can read more in [our blog](https://medium.com/@ktsakalozos/containerd-on-a-more-secure-microk8s-c2c97ac0268f), and the respective [pill request](https://github.com/ubuntu/microk8s/pull/323)

Please, [let us know](https://github.com/ubuntu/microk8s/issues) how we can make this transition smoother for you.

Thanks
