AKS Nodes default installed Docker version support

[rfum]

I've just realized that AKS nodes are using an old version of docker engine. Does any update plans exists? Or do we have to update the engine our own? Because it's blocking our pipeline we cannot build multistaged dockerfiles.

Here is the output of docker version :

Client:
 Version:      1.13.1
 API version:  1.26
 Go version:   go1.7.5
 Git commit:   092cba3
 Built:        Wed Feb  8 06:50:14 2017
 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

Server:
 Version:      1.13.1
 API version:  1.26 (minimum version 1.12)
 Go version:   go1.7.5
 Git commit:   092cba3
 Built:        Wed Feb  8 06:50:14 2017
 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64
 Experimental: false

We are investigating to update the docker version.

We are also interested in a way to upgrade docker version on the AKS clusters. Specifically because we aim at migrating from acs-engine since our nodes met this issue - moby/moby#31768, and moving to AKS with the same docker version seems to increase the odds of meeting this issue again.

@rfum I've previously raised this as an issue since I needed to achieve the same thing.

These issues might be of interest to you; but it isn't good news (or wasn't):

@seanmck the link is broken.

This issue is frustrating as we are blocked from implementing multistaged docker files. HELP
