There are many things happening in SIG Node. New and exciting features are coming up and existing features are graduating. Come to our maintainers track session to catch up with everything happening in SIG Node. SIG Node owns components that control interactions between pods and host resources, including the Kubelet, Container Runtime Interface (CRI), and Node API. SIG Node is responsible for the Pod’s lifecycle from allocation to teardown, to liveness checks and shared resource management. We work with various container runtimes, kernels, networking, storage, and more; anything a pod touches is SIG Node’s responsibility! We will talk about sidecar containers, kubelet resource management improvements, and many more current topics. We also will reflect on changes we made in SIG Node leadership and our efforts to increase participation in SIG Node activities.

The presentation discusses the intricacies of managing CPUs in Kubernetes and the various options available for resource management.

• Early Kubernetes had simple resource management with only CPU and memory as native resources
• Resource Management Working Group was formed to enhance Kubernetes to support diverse and complex classes of applications
• There are currently three options for resource management: CRIRM, CPU Pooler, and CMK
• Community discussion is ongoing to address gaps in CPU management
• Kubernetes has various operational areas organized as SIGs and working groups
