Developer News

Reminder: if you still have jobs running on the old test cluster, you need to move them in the next 3 weeks.

SIG Release is reconsidering its meeting times and cadence. Don’t forget to submit your preferred times if you’re a regular attendee.

The Kubernetes Contributor Summit NA 2024 is looking for two designs. A Logo for the event and a design for the Contributor Award.

Release Schedule

Next Deadline: Docs PRs ready for review, July 16th

We’re two weeks away from code freeze and everything is on track for the release! The docs PR-ready-for-review deadline is coming up on 16th July, so make sure you get your docs PRs ready before the deadline.

Also, v1.31.0-beta.0 cut is planned for 16th July.

KEP of the Week

KEP 4639: Add OCI VolumeSource CRI API

The OCI has added a spec for “artifacts” being distributed as container images. With this KEP, Kubernetes will be taking advantage of the new capabilities as a way of distributing shared files to pods. It adds a new VolumeSource type of OCIObject, which can then get pulled down and mounted as a filesystem just like other volumes. This can be used for secrets, large data blobs, and shared configuration file sets.

An API was merged last week, and a full alpha release is planned for 1.31.

Other Merges

Typo fixed in error message for anonymous field in AuthenticationConfiguration.

/sys/devices/virtual/powercap added to default masked paths.

Cleanup for Job tests.

publishing-bot rules updated to Go 1.22.5.

Integration tests added for rejecting non-JSON RawExtensions.

Service accounts now takes an optional tokenGetter provider function.

RoundtripToUnstructured extracted to apimachinery apitesting library.

kube-scheduler implements scheduling hints for the VolumeBinding plugin.

Namespace autocompletion for kubectl config set-context command has been added.

New tests for document request timeouts.

The nftables mode of kube-proxy now requires to use nft v1.0.1 or later and kernel 5.13 or later.

Windows kube-proxy now uses the update API instead of the create and delete APIs.

Bugfix to avoid Pods stuck in Pending state when PodTopologySpread rejects Pods.

The scheduler now takes events registered in rejector PreFilter plugins into consideration when retrying scheduling Pods rejected by PreFilterResult.

lastSuccessfullTime in cronjobs will now be set reliably.

Promotions

ServiceTrafficDistribution to beta.

PodDisruptionConditions to GA.

Version Updates

Kubernetes v1.29 Go version gets bumped to 1.22.5.

Subprojects and Dependency Updates

CRI-O v1.30.3: remove a container after it fails to start, to prevent copies of it from piling up until it succeeds; also v1.29.6, v1.28.8, v1.27.8

kubebuilder v4.1.0: re-introduces authn/authz protection for the metrics endpoint

The New Builders: AI - Built on Open Source
As AI continues to reshape our industry, it’s important to understand how it intersects with open source. AI is dependent on and composed of open source software, for one, and it’s also triggering new questions on how to define open source in the context of AI. To explore these and other questions, Julia Ferraioli of

Why Continuous Promotion is Essential
Why Continuous Promotion is Essential
Cloud-native computing introduces more complex, branching pipelines and workflows, the traditional CI/CD frameworks often fall short in addressing the nuanced challenges faced by organizations nowadays. This gap has led to the emergence of what we would like to call Continuous Promotion.

No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead DevConf.CZ
No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead DevConf.CZ
We are working on a new scheme to replace the GRUB bootloader with a fast, secure, Linux-based, user-space solution: nmbl (for no more boot loader). Most people are familiar with GRUB, a powerful, flexible, fully-featured bootloader that is used on multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le OpenFirmware). Although GRUB is quite versatile and capable, its features create complexity that is difficult to maintain, and that both duplicate and lag behind the Linux kernel while also creating numerous security holes. On the other hand, the Linux kernel, which has a large developer base, benefits from fast feature development, quick responses to vulnerabilities and greater overall scrutiny. We (Red Hat boot loader engineering) will present our solution to this problem, which is to use the Linux kernel as its own bootloader. Loaded by the EFI stub on UEFI, and packed into a unified kernel image (UKI), the kernel, initramfs, and kernel command line, contain everything they need to reach the final boot target. All necessary drivers, filesystem support, and networking are already built in and code duplication is avoided. We will showcase the work done so far, and ask you for your feedback and use cases.

📖 Book Update: The Turning Wheels of Publishing

https://anonymoushash.vmbrasseur.com/2024/07/book-update.html

I’m pleased to announce (somewhat belatedly) that Business Success with Open Source is content complete!

This means that all of the writing is DONE (thank dog). In fact, it’s been done since the end of May, but June was a surprisingly busy month for me so I’m only just announcing it now on the blog.

The steps that remain:

Second technical review: The first two thirds of the book have already received invaluable feedback from technical reviewers. Now the rest of the book gets the same treatment. Most of that feedback has arrived already, so next Monday I’ll start revisions based on it.

Cleanup: The GitLab repo for the book currently shows 24 open issues tagged cleanup. I need to resolve all of those.

Copy editing: The revised and cleaned content then goes to a copy editor, who’ll fix typos, grammatical errors, and other similar wonkiness.

Layout: After the copy editor’s done their work (and I’ve double-checked it), the layout team works their magic to ensure the finished content looks decent.

Indexing: At some point during the publication prep process, a team of professional indexers go through the thing and build out the index, including all the special markup that’s required for it in the source for the book.

Publication!

The wheels of publication can turn slowly, since all of these steps require coordination of specialists. According to my editor, the finished hard copy of the book should be available around November-ish.

However, if you buy the e-book now you’ll receive the entire (slightly in flux) text of the book today and updates to the polished finished version when it’s available.

This has been a very long road for me (nearly 450 pages worth of long road, in fact), and it’s a relief to be so near the end. Initial reviews are blush-inducingly positive, which means the work will pay off by helping a lot of people. Which, after all, is the hope and the goal.
