One reason I like the word variant is the existing English definition matches our intent closely:
Notice that the title of this issue even uses it... Aside: I can't stop thinking of users when I hear the word profile... :) |
+1 for the user-profile word association |

Per cluster api call I am going to send an email to sig-arch and sig-cluster-lifecycle suggesting the word "variants" as our champion. |
@kris-nova: Should this be closed? |
I think we can close this. |
We have discovered that there are several use cases to have a variant of a kubernetes cluster for a specific environment (e.g. "provider").
The example I enjoy using (that I am sure everyone is sick of hearing) is
public
andprivate
topology inkops
.Meaning that we drastically configure and build the network in AWS differently for the two types of clusters, so the deployment strategy is different for the two. But they are both valid AWS clusters.
Here is a fictional diagram that will demonstrate the layer we are discussing.
Note: The names here are fictional and are in no way suggestions for real names. I chose these just to help clarify what the layer represents.
We decided that as a group, we need to have a word that represents this layer.
Below are suggested words that have been tossed around. If you like one of the words, please add a github emoji 👍 to the comment and cast a vote. Vote for as many as you like. Feel free to add your own if you can think of another word.
