Hello @marosset 👋, 1.26 Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on 18:00 PDT on Thursday 6th October 2022.

This enhancement is targeting for stage alpha for 1.26 (correct me, if otherwise)

Here's where this enhancement currently stands:

• KEP readme using the latest template has been merged into the k/enhancements repo.
• KEP status is marked as implementable for latest-milestone: 1.26
• KEP readme has a updated detailed test plan section filled out
• KEP readme has up to date graduation criteria
• KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements.

For this KEP, we would just need to update the following:

• Since you might be already aware of the processes yourself not mentioning anything else. 🙂

The status of this enhancement is marked as at risk and will be marked as tracked once the open PR is merged. Please keep the issue description up-to-date with appropriate stages as well. Thank you!

Candidate for Alpha in 1.26 ?

[marosset]

Candidate for Alpha in 1.26 ?

Yes - work is needed in the container runtimes (just containerd for Windows) so the sooner we get the CRI-API changes in the sooner we can move towards beta/stable.

@rhockenbury - #3507 merged before the enahcnement freeze. Is there a reason why this didn't make it into v1.26?

[rhockenbury]

My mistake. I missed that there was a PR merged up for this. This is tracked for v1.26

Hi, can someone who knows this work fill me in on what's going on?

[MikeZappa87]

@thockin I will sync internally to find out where this is.

[thockin]

This KEP has been open for a long time, but it's not clear if anyone is working on it or planning to. Can we get an update?

[thockin]

One more ping before I close this?

[MikeZappa87]

@thockin sorry for the delay. I thought I had responded back in August but I clearly didn't! This is still in our (Microsoft) queue of work. I am working internally to move this forward.
