Abdullah Gharaibeh has proposed a new API for job queueing, replacing the earlier Job Management proposal for your commenting pleasure.

Now that most Kubernetes components are using structured logging, SIG-Instrumentation would like to talk about contextual logging as a feature. Like structured logging, this will affect a lot of components across the project.

We had a storm of spam on the mailing lists last week, so many Kubernetes lists are now moderated-first-post. Be patient with the delay when you first join a list.

We plan to switch to EasyCLA on February 5th. Please check the EasyCLA results in any PRs you submit this week; is EasyCLA correctly finding your CLA? If not, file a ticket as soon as you see problems.

Reminder: now that kubernetes-dev@googlegroups has been replaced by dev@kubernetes.io, please remember to share any community docs you have (like SIG agendas, etc.) with dev@kubernetes.io.

What if logging in Kubernetes was fully pluggable? Patrick Ohly is soliciting feedback on a KEP for “contextual logging”. Drawback: requires another project-wide overhaul, just like structured logging did.

Welcome to the 5th year of LWKD! LWKD is brought to you by Josh Berkus and Noah Kantrowitz of SIG-ContribEx. You can contribute through the git repo. As usual for the first issue of the year we’ll be summarizing the last 3 weeks or so of development over the holidays.

dev@kubernetes.io is the new kubernetes-dev@googlegroups: over the holidays, Paris Pittman and others moved us from the old Dev mailing list, to one hosted on the kubernetes.io domain. If you were subscribed to kubernetes-dev, you should be subscribed to the new dev@kubernetes.io mailing list now. Remember to post to the right place! This move will let us have a real community calendar again.

The draft charter for Batch WG is up for comment. Nick Turner is now co-chair of Cloud Provider SIG.

Developer News

Lots of news for you this week, starting with the 1.23 release(release notes). SLSA compliance, Dual Stack, FlexVolume deprecation, PodSecurity API and more. Note that the new version of cri-tools is not yet available, which means that some people should wait to upgrade.

Second, this will be the last LWKD in 2021. Publication will resume in January.

The Contributor Celebration is this week.

Last Week In Kubernetes Development for December 5th

Developer News

The Contributor Celebration has added several planned activities, including a BakeOff, DevOps party games, arts, and of course the annual contributor awards. Several events are looking for participants; register now.

EasyCLA is not working, so we’ll be putting off switching CLA bots until after 1.24.

Developer News

SIG-Auth is looking for folks interested in their several KEPs that need work for 1.24, particularly KMS-plugin.

SIG-Release has updated their roadmap, including the addition of the SLSA KEP to support supply-chain security.

It’s time to stop using gcr.io/kubernetes-e2e-test-images and start using k8s.gcr.io/e2e-test-images. SIG-Node could use some help getting users off of http://gcr.io/k8s-authenticated-test if you can lend a hand. This is part of the move to community-owned infra.

Developer News

Registration is open for the Contributor Celebration. Join us for end-of-year fun with your peers.

Since Tim Pepper was elected to Steering, he has stepped down from the Code of Conduct Committee and Carlos Panato has taken his place. Steering Liaisons for SIGs are also changing. Steering and CoCC have also jointly made it clear that nobody is above the Code of Conduct.
