• The system was designed with the goal of making it easy for developers to get started and ensuring commonly needed changes would be simple to make
• The system includes a config CLI and API, a version schema, and a customization system
• The config CLI provides a familiar interactive workflow for developers to modify production configuration
• The config API simplifies the user experience by explicitly encoding the main application properties that developers need to control
• The version schema allows for formal versioning and evolution of the system over time
• The customization system allows for advanced users to leverage the full power of Kubernetes APIs when needed
• The system strikes a balance between exposing changes and ensuring meaningful review, while also accommodating the needs of a wide range of users

• Kubernetes is overwhelmed by the amount of functionality added and needs to focus on improving the statuses and debuggability
• The lack of visibility into the deployment reason for failing to start is a major issue
• The Kubernetes community needs more contributors, including developers, PMs, and technical writers
• The community is open to mentoring and bringing on new maintainers, but needs a firm commitment from them
• Unifying the statuses of all the controllers is being worked on to improve the situation
• The cube cuddle events command and cube cuddle debug command are being developed to expose more information

• Cube Control is a staging repo that is being migrated out of the Kubernetes main repo
• To build Cube Control, run 'make cube control' at the root of the repo
• There are three types of testing: unit tests, end-to-end tests, and integration tests
• Unit tests are offline and run quickly, while end-to-end tests require an active Kubernetes cluster
• Integration tests are bash tests that need improvement
• New contributors are needed for the project and attending meetings in person is encouraged

• 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.
