explore k8s prow as a way to automate stuff in github

Prow is a Kubernetes based CI/CD system. Jobs can be triggered by various types of events and report their status to many different services. In addition to job execution, Prow provides GitHub automation in the form of policy enforcement, chat-ops via /foo style commands, and automatic PR merging. See the GoDoc for library docs. Please note that these libraries are intended for use by prow only, and we do not make any attempt to preserve backwards compatibility.

FYI, Prow is starting to get some traction beyond its initial use for the k8s project itself. See e.g. Serverless Jenkins X

Update: I just noticed this (no video, but the abstract is another piece of social proof): Using Prow for Testing Outside of K8s

Do we have the resources to run it?

[MylesBorins]

I cannot make any promise but I can check internally to see if we can get resources donated

What resources does it require? I have a home lab that might be powerful enough to help run things.
