Per T244335 we want to update to at least 1.16. However 1.16 has a number of breaking changes regarding APIs. We need to upgrade our helm charts, however without breaking compatibility with the current kubernetes versions we are currently running, 1.12 and 1.13.
The changelogs are at: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.16.md
The breaking changes summary is at: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2019/07/18/api-deprecations-in-1-16/
