1.2 includes multi-zone support, so your nodes can be in multiple AZs. This means that a failure of a single zone shouldn't interrupt your apps: http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/multiple-zones/ http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/multiple-zones/ What is not yet in 1.2, but is planned for 1.3, is HA Master - so that failure of the zone which contains your master won't interrupt the control plane. (i.e. you will be able to update your apps even as zones are failing).
