Developer News
The second New Contributor Orientations will take place on October 15th. Please recommend them to the aspiring new contributor in your life.
Due to dependency changes in Debian LTS images, SIG-Release is proposing to stop building artifacts for some architectures. Discussions continue in SIG-Release.
Aldo Culquicondor has stepped down from WG Batch chair, and has nominated Kevin Hannon to take his place.
The NA Contributor Summit schedule is live. Remember to register, and if you’re going consider volunteering to help run the Summit.
Release Schedule
Next Deadline: Enhancements Freeze, October 10
We’re in the final week for Enhancement Opt-In. Please check your features on the project board and make sure their status is correct; if not, get in touch with your SIG lead ASAP.
Speaking of deadlines, patch release cherry picks for the October patches are due Friday.
KEP of the Week
KEP-3973: Consider Terminating Pods in Deployments
This KEP updates how the Deployment controller behaves when reporting Pod count when Pods are in terminating state. Currently Deployments have inconsistent behaviour in how the terminating Pods are handled based on the rollout strategy. This KEP introduces a new .spec.podReplacementPolicy with which users can configure this behaviour. This is similar to the spec.podReplacementPolicy in the Job spec and allows users to define if the Deployment should wait for its Pods to terminate before creating new Pods or if it should create them immediately.
This KEP is tracked for alpha in the ongoing v1.32 release.
Other Merges
The NestedNumberAsFloat64 method converts int64 values to float64 when accessing numbers in unstructured objects
Assert the flag behavior on kube-proxy using unit test
API impact verification: Added a new -b flag for explicitly requesting build checks
DRA Scheduler: mock workqueue for controller unit test
Prevent a race condition from causing erroneous volume unmounts for flex volume plugins on kubelet restart
Use generics for Workqueue metrics
kubectl apply --server-side now supports --subresource
In TestCoreResourceEnqueue, verify whether Pods are requeued to the activeQ after specific cluster events are triggered
Fixed: TestPersistentVolumeProvisionMultiPVCs
MVP cleanup #2
New Tests: dra helper function, TestGenerateLinuxContainerResources, VolumeGroupSnapshot
The scheduler adds QueueingHint in the VolumeBinding plugin’s CSIDriver event
system-reserved-compressible and kube-reserved-compressible to set only compressible (e.g. CPU) type resources on system and kube reserved slice respectively
Reduce memory usage/allocations during wait for volume attachment
Version Updates
After increasing golang versions to 1.23.1 and 1.22.7, revert back to 1.23.0 until the question of alternate architectures is resolved.

GPUs in Kubernetes for AI Workloads
Today we dive into running AI models on Kubernetes with GPU support. Learn how to manage GPUs in Kubernetes clusters, create GPU nodes, and optimize resource usage without breaking the bank. We'll walk you through setting up a Google Cloud Kubernetes cluster (the same logic should apply to other Cloud providers), deploying AI models like Ollama's Llama2, and handling GPU partitioning. Watch now to master GPU-based AI workloads in Kubernetes!

Announcing the 2024 Steering Committee Election Results
https://kubernetes.io/blog/2024/10/02/steering-committee-results-2024/
The 2024 Steering Committee Election is now complete. The Kubernetes Steering Committee consists of 7 seats, 3 of which were up for election in 2024. Incoming committee members serve a term of 2 years, and all members are elected by the Kubernetes Community.
This community body is significant since it oversees the governance of the entire Kubernetes project. With that great power comes great responsibility. You can learn more about the steering committee’s role in their charter.
Thank you to everyone who voted in the election; your participation helps support the community’s continued health and success.
Results
Congratulations to the elected committee members whose two year terms begin immediately (listed in alphabetical order by GitHub handle):
Antonio Ojea (@aojea), Google

Bob Killen (@mrbobbytables)
Nabarun Pal (@palnabarun)
And thank you to all the candidates who came forward to run for election.
Get involved with the Steering Committee
This governing body, like all of Kubernetes, is open to all. You can follow along with Steering Committee meeting notes and weigh in by filing an issue or creating a PR against their repo. They have an open meeting on the first Monday at 8am PT of every month. They can also be contacted at their public mailing list steering@kubernetes.io.
You can see what the Steering Committee meetings are all about by watching past meetings on the YouTube Playlist.
If you want to meet some of the newly elected Steering Committee members, join us for the Steering AMA at the Kubernetes Contributor Summit North America 2024 in Salt Lake City.
