Kubernetes Code of Conduct committee nominations are currently open. The CoCC is a key part of why our community is a nice place to be. Consider serving on it.

Kubecon London: The first round of Maintainer Summit proposals is due December 8th. You need to make that deadline if you will be applying for a scholarship. Applications for other Project/SIG opportunities – including kiosks, lightning talks, and Maintainer Track talks – are due December 11th.

Kubecon India: The Maintainer Summit is on December 10th, don’t miss it.

Release Schedule

Next Deadline: Release Day, December 11th

We’re in the final week of the v1.32 cycle and are one week away from the release date. Thanks to everyone for their work so far! v1.32.0-rc.1 was scheduled for December 3rd and the release cut has started.

KEP of the Week

KEP-4802: Graceful Node Shutdown for Windows Node

This KEP extends node graceful shutdown to Windows, enabling Kubelet to handle shutdowns by triggering proper pod termination, including pre-stop hooks. It focuses on nodes where Kubelet runs as a Windows service, ensuring a cloud-agnostic approach with minimal shutdown delays and adherence to the expected pod lifecycle.

This KEP is tracked for alpha release in the ongoing v1.32 cycle.

Version Updates

Golang to 1.22.9 on 1.29, 1.30, 1.31 and to 1.23.3 on 1.32

Optimize the Kubernetes dev experience by creating silos, with Michael Levan

https://kube.fm/kubernetes-silos-michael

Michael Levan explains how specialized teams and smart abstractions can lead to better outcomes. Drawing from cognitive science and his experience in platform engineering, Michael presents practical strategies for building effective engineering organizations.

You will learn:

Why specialized teams (or "silos") can improve productivity and why the real enemy is ego, not specialization.

How to use Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and abstractions to empower teams without requiring everyone to be a Kubernetes expert.

How to balance specialization and collaboration using platform engineering practices and smart abstractions

Practical strategies for managing cognitive load in engineering teams and why not everyone needs to know YAML.
