We need a thorough API review of the kube-proxy component config in the light of unifying them for all components. Moving what we have to beta in the 1.14 time frame feels like rushing in the light of us having just started with component-base.

[claurence]

@luxas I don't see a KEP for this issue links in the description. I'm removing it from the 1.14 milestone - to have it added back please file an exception request.

[rosti]

I am giving this a try.

@luxas @rosti I'm the enhancement lead for 1.15. I don't see a KEP filed for this enhancement and per the guidelines, all enhancements will require one. Please let me know if this issue will have any work involved for this release cycle and update the original post reflect it. Thanks!

[rosti]

@kacole2 I am a bit skeptical for a KEP in this release cycle, however if we manage to put something before enhancements freeze for 1.15 then we'll ping you.

Initial proposal doc.
This is shared with WG Component Standard, SIG Network, SIG Windows, SIG API Machinery and SIG Cluster Lifecycle. If someone has trouble accessing it, ping me.

[mtaufen]

@rosti thanks for picking this up! The common vs. local and per-platform config problems have needed someone who can really focus on them for a while, and I haven't been able to dedicate enough time lately. So I'm grateful someone's looking at this :). This is critical to the future of the componentconfig effort.

[mtaufen]

I left some comments on your doc.

[mtaufen]

@vllry, I heard you're also going to be working on kube-proxy componentconfig, wanted to make sure you see this.

[stealthybox]

@rosti, shall we tag this /w 1.16 and update KEP #1104?

[alejandrox1]

Moving this to the 1.16 milestone to tackle during the next release
/milestone v1.16

[neolit123]

IMO we should have k/enhancements issues that track full graduation of APIs. from alpha->GA instead of separate ones for beta or GA.

[rosti]

If the KEP merges we can have an alpha version released before the end of the cycle, so I think, that it's appropriate to have it in 1.16.

[mrbobbytables]

Hey there @luxas, I'm one of the 1.16 Enhancement Shadows. Looks like you're on track for v1.16 :)

As a general reminder, the KEP must be merged and in an implementable state with Graduation Criteria explaining each alpha/beta/stable stages requirements.

Milestone dates are Enhancement Freeze 7/30 and Code Freeze 8/29.

Thank you.

[thockin]

Hi @aroradaman, are you aiming for 1.31 now?

[aroradaman]

Yes!

[thockin]

We should figure out how we want to manage this KEP. As stated the KEP's goal is an alpha. That's unusual. Perhaps we should update the KEP to make the goal a GA config API, and then track the lifecycle as such?

[sreeram-venkitesh]

@aroradaman Since you're aiming for 1.31 and the KEP already has a lead-opted-in label its been added to the 1.31 enhancements tracking board. Please let me know if this works!

[sreeram-venkitesh]

@aroradaman, since this KEP is still targeting alpha in v1.31, can we update the label to stage/alpha and remove the existing stage/beta?

Hello @aroradaman 👋, Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on 02:00 UTC Friday 14th June 2024 / 19:00 PDT Thursday 13th June 2024.

This enhancement is targeting for stage alpha for v1.31 (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: v1.31. KEPs targeting stable will need to be marked as implemented after code PRs are merged and the feature gates are removed.
• KEP readme has up-to-date graduation criteria
• KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements. (For more information on the PRR process, check here). If your production readiness review is not completed yet, please make sure to fill the production readiness questionnaire in your KEP by the PRR Freeze deadline so that the PRR team has enough time to review your KEP before the enhancements freeze.

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

• Update the merged KEP with alpha milestone and latest milestone as v1.31
• Update the KEP label to stage/alpha since it is targeting for alpha in v1.31(as also mentioned by @sreeram-venkitesh^^)

Other than the above-mentioned AIs, all the KEP requirements are in place and merged into k/enhancements, this enhancement is all good for the upcoming enhancements freeze. 🚀

The status of this enhancement is marked as tracked for enhancement freeze. Please keep the issue description up-to-date with appropriate stages as well. Thank you!
