Conference: KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021

2021-10-14

Authors: Sean Sullivan, Eddie Zaneski, Katrina Verey

Summary

The presentation discusses the Kubernetes project and its testing and pruning functionalities.

The Kubernetes project needs new contributors who are passionate about the project.
The bug scrub is a good opportunity to ask about issues and claim them.
Showing up in person to meetings is easier to get involved than just through online issues.
The integration tests need the most love in terms of testing.
Pruning is a functionality that automatically deletes objects that are no longer needed.
The prune set is calculated by subtracting the previously applied objects from the currently applied objects.
The prune whitelist flag restricts the set of items that can be pruned.
The Kubernetes project is looking for feedback on how to improve its functionalities.

The presentation explains that pruning is a functionality that automatically deletes objects that are no longer needed. The presenter uses a simple example of applying two config maps, A and B, and subsequently applying B and C. The prune set is calculated to be item A, which is no longer needed, and is automatically deleted.

Abstract

SIG CLI is the special interest group for the command line tooling of the Kubernetes project. The SIG maintains kubectl, kustomize, and related libraries. In this session the SIG CLI leads will provide an introduction to the SIG and an overview of how to contribute including how kubectl is built and tested. They will share the work that's been done the past year and discuss several current and future Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals (KEPs). The session will conclude with open discussion and Q&A.
