Why Most Kubernetes Dashboards Are Failing You (and What's The Future)

Discover the common mistakes of Kubernetes dashboards and explore how to improve them for better navigation, search, and debugging in large-scale clusters. Learn about the limitations of Kubernetes API and how tools like Karpor can revolutionize cluster management with advanced search capabilities. Follow along as we set up Karpor, register clusters, and demonstrate powerful SQL-based search queries that can help you find resources across multiple clusters quickly and efficiently. Tune in for insights on transforming your Kubernetes experience from a file explorer to a Google-like search interface.

Developer News

Benjamin Elder is implementing a policy of not re-triaging some issues; comment on the PR.

We’re promoting several Kind-based test jobs to release-blocking, since they’ve shown themselves to be reliable and able to catch real issues.

Release Schedule

Next Deadline: Code Freeze and Test Freeze March 21

We’re on our final approach to Code Freeze. Topics for the Feature Blog were frozen this week. Time to wrap up your work for 1.33.

March patch release cherry-picks are due this Friday.

Featured PRs

130349: Declarative Validation: Add validation generator

This PR kicks off the implementation of Declarative Validation in Kubernetes by introducing validation-gen, a code generator that automatically produces validation logic based on structured //+ tags in types.go files. The validation system is modular, with a core set of built-in validation rules, and future PRs will expand it with additional plugins like dnsName, enum, and union. This PR also includes a robust test suite to ensure correctness across various validation scenarios.
