+## What about `kube-node-lease`?
+
+- Starting with Kubernetes 1.14, there is a `kube-node-lease` namespace
+
+  (or in Kubernetes 1.13 if the NodeLease feature gate is enabled)
+
+- That namespace contains one Lease object per node
+
+- *Node leases* are a new way to implement node heartbeats
+
+  (i.e. node regularly pinging the control plane to say "I'm alive!")
+
+- For more details, see [KEP-0009] or the [node controller documentation]

+- If we deploy a cluster with `kubeadm`, we have three or four namespaces:
 
   - `default` (for our applications)
