Breaking up the Kubernetes monorepo enabled the project to support a larger ecosystem while maintaining reliability and ease of use.

• AWS and GCP tests were kicked off on every single PR to ensure cloud provider functionality and Kubernetes functionality were not broken
• Technical issues and people issues led to the decision to break up the monorepo
• Breaking up the monorepo allowed for architectural improvements and a larger ecosystem
• The burden of testing falls on the component repo, but there is an expectation that the code has worked at some stage
• The goal is to achieve reliability and ease of use while supporting a larger ecosystem

kOps has been adding support for IPv6 clusters. Learn about the design of and challenges faced in providing a turnkey IPv6 Kubernetes infrastructure, including on AWS and other clouds. kOps maintainers will describe the use cases they are targeting, the network architecture they chose, and how they are managing address allocation. They will give details on the components, both internal and in upstream projects, that needed changes to support IPv6 and the bugs and limitations they had to work around. They will also reveal trivia, such as why the kOps service network is fd00:5e4f:ce::/108.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!

kOps is a kubernetes subproject to manage and operate kubernetes clusters, delivering the full end-to-end user experience. We’ll give a quick introduction to kOps, and cover recent advances. Learn about better security, certificate rotation; support for containerd, arm64, azure; dedicated apiserver nodes; binding cloud roles to kubernetes service accounts; initial ipv6 support; much deeper testing and more! We’ll then deep-dive into how we are continuing to deliver the end-to-end experience, even as the core kubernetes repository extracts out networking, storage and cloud support … are we building a distro? What are the implications for how we can continue to develop and build kOps, and what can we learn from traditional Linux distros?
