Developer News

SIG-ContribEx is hosting the first monthly New Contributor Orientation. Held on the first Tuesday of each month, this 1-hour video session will help new contributors figure out “where do I get started?” The first one is at 8:30UTC and again at 15:30UTC on September 17th.

You have one more week to propose sessions for the Contributor Summit, including presentations, discussions, and SIG/Team meetings. The Unconference Topics issue is ready for your discussion ideas.

SIG-Node is thinking about dynamic batch workloads.

Tim Hockins wants your answers to silly Kubernetes questions.

Release Schedule

Next Deadline: Production Readiness Freeze, October 3

As of this Monday, the 1.32 release cycle is underway. The team and schedule will be final this Friday, and Release Lead Frederico Muñoz has shared what to expect. Major deadlines include:

Enhancements freeze: Friday 11th October 2024

Code & Test freeze: Friday 8th November 2024

Docs freeze: Tuesday 26th November 2024

Release day: Wednesday 11th December 2024

Patch releases for all supported versions are expected out this week.

KEP of the Week

KEP 4601: Authorize with Field and Label Selectors

This KEP extends Kubernetes authorization attributes to include field and label selectors for List, Watch, and DeleteCollection verbs, allowing authorizers to make more granular security decisions. This enables out-of-tree authorizers to experiment with restrictions based on selectors, improving per-node workload security. Additionally, field and label selectors will be added to webhook authorization types, Subject Access Reviews (SSAR, SAR, Local SAR), and the node authorizer (restricting by nodeName), and will be integrated into the CEL authorizer for more advanced policy evaluations.

This KEP is tracked for alpha release in v1.32.

Other Merges

Accelerate responses for false negative access requests, speeding up workload startup

Use FormatOnly in gengo, which also involved making hundreds of API names unique; if you haven’t refreshed your repo copy after this merge, better do so

Regular init containers do not use the Sidecar code path, preventing startup failures

APIServer can offer UID headers

kubeadm upgrade apply and kubeadm upgrade node can upgrade just the addons or other specific elements, or skip them

Prevent InFlightPods from having more than one element

Remove conntrack binary from kube-proxy

Dynamic client-go won’t panic when it sees an UnstructuredList

Auto-restart init containers stuck in “created”

tryRegisterWithAPIServer continues whether or not it can create a node

New metrics: inflight_events for QueueingHints (but check for memory overflow)

Test improvements: NodeAffinity integration, image volume sharing

Promotions

AnonymousAuthConfigurableEndpoints to Beta

CVE-2024-43491 - Security Update Guide - Microsoft - Microsoft Windows Update Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Microsoft is aware of a vulnerability in Servicing Stack that has rolled back the fixes for some vulnerabilities affecting Optional Components on Windows 10, version 1507 (initial version released July 2015). This means that an attacker could exploit these previously mitigated vulnerabilities on Windows 10, version 1507 (Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2015 LTSB) systems that have installed the Windows security update released on March 12, 2024—KB5035858 (OS Build 10240.20526) or other updates released until August 2024. All later versions of Windows 10 are not impacted by this vulnerability. This servicing stack vulnerability is addressed by installing the September 2024 Servicing stack update (SSU KB5043936) AND the September 2024 Windows security ...
