Kubernetes SIG Release Meeting for 20230404

A

uh Hello uh good morning afternoon or evening, uh I'm uh I am Veronica Lopez, and this is the weekly uh kubernetes sick release. Meeting.

A

um Please uh we're recording this, and so I want to please remind you to adhere to uh the kubernetes code, conduct be excellent to each other um yeah. So today, today we have I believe a very light agenda, uh but even if you didn't have time to update the document which is linked in the in the chat uh thanks to Marco uh yeah, so um feel free to add more items there.

A

If, if you didn't have the time earlier and so yeah oh I, see that uh Virgo is here welcome, uh okay, so we can start now. um Do we have any new members or attendees? That would like to say hi.

B

Yeah I'm a new attendee, my name is Amir and I have been working as software engineer for more than four years.

A

Great uh it's great to have you I'm very excited every time that we have uh new contributors I'm here thanks.

B

A lot nice to meet you too.

A

A

Now do we have anyone else all.

C

A

um Okay, uh then we can go ahead with the project updates. uh We can start with release engineering.

D

Yeah I added some notes: Here hi everyone, uh so first of all go updates. uh It is announced that today we are expecting gold patch releases for 1 to 20 and 1.19 that are supposed to fix for cves. uh This is something that I created the technician foreign.

D

Because it will take time for going just to become a valuable uh I guess they usually do that several hours after the release is out so by tomorrow morning, Europe time we are going to see images available. uh But because of this, we delayed the rc1 cut from today to Thursday, so that we are able to pick it up.

D

We test it before the final release, so no special updates regarding that, but just to be aware of the attitude, if your CPR to know what's up uh other for other projects, heavy Specialists and they're, scheduled for next week, uh I similar as usual of Destiny and that's hopefully going to be a day a day after the final 137.0 release.

D

So yeah we have the traffic deadline coming up, I'm, not sure if we have a plan on who's going to grab your cherry pick this time, but maybe I can start taking a look uh starting tomorrow to see if there's a PR and to start bringing folks. If there is anything that should be added and stuff like that, yeah. Nothing too special, but um maybe now that you have worked on call that you can discuss, is rc1 and final Tuesday and also per choices.

D

uh uh Something that I'm a little bit worried about is that we still don't really have consensus of signing issues, I'm, not sure if that is fixable or not, and we spoke about reverting the right limits that we added but I, think that turned out to be impossible or complicated or something like that.

D

But on the other hand, I, don't think that we have a complete fixed parameters. So it might happen again that we go into releases, but the we have problem with C batteries. So I just wanted to see. If we have any plan for this.

C

Did you say reverting what.

D

I mean reverting their limits for the architecture agency that you have.

C

um uh I haven't heard of any plans to do that, I mean uh we need to check with uh get Sig infra, but I I think there's no plan to do that.

C

There has been only one patch to the promoter so far to deal with another red limit in some in one of the calls, but the problem is that uh we need to what we would need to do is to rate limit the calls to sister and that's deeper, because the way we structure the libraries is, the promoter uses a seek release, signer, which in turn wraps the sixer libraries, which are the ones who actually and I, think those in turn use ggcr.

C

So it's a very deep chain of wrapping, um so the goals that we do directly to the registries have all been rate limited one of the one of the goals.

C

uh There was a PR to wrap another call in the in the in the promoter, not in the signature specifically, but in the in one of the processes that copies the images. um I am quite sure. It's not gonna be enough, given the current limits, um but uh I think the rate limit is I, I mean I. I need to do so I. As far as I know, the rollout of the register really react is still going on. So I don't expect the right limits to change.

C

And uh so yeah we will probably end up with the same situation. We we have planned. uh We had planned to to start testing the the job that fixes the signatures after the fact. uh uh Unfortunately, Carlos is out, so we didn't do that, but still we are kind of holding on hitting the registry too hard because of the rollout. So.

E

C

We need to be in the or you know in cooperating with that with that uh that change. um So probably my expectation is that unless we get really lucky, uh the we're gonna end up with failed signatures with rc1 again.

C

So since we delayed it, we might as well promote the the latest patches to the to the promoter uh to run with that one and see if that helps and I mean if it does good. If not, uh we still need to change a lot more.

D

D

C

Now now, because we have an.

A

Extra few days to.

C

A

Okay, um thanks Puerto thanks Margo, oh I'm, concerning Cherry picks. uh If you'd like to start today, Marco um feel free, I I am planning to to do it on my behalf tomorrow. um But let me know uh if you start today, where do you? Where are you standing and I can continue tomorrow, yeah, so, okay, yeah? Also, if you don't want to start today, that's fine I'm, just um heads.

D

Up yeah today or tomorrow morning, my time so yeah we can decide.

A

Okay, I will have bunch of dead hours tomorrow, waiting in an airport um Lounge for like three hours. That I cannot do other type of work, but Cherry pixel so happy to catch up with that. uh Anyway. Anything else about this topic, any questions to Marco or or Adolfo.

E

um Just curious, I haven't really helped with cherry picks in the past. Can I Shadow with somebody or is it something I could help out with I'm a little reluctant to like, approve or say anything on a cherry pick and so I've kind of been on the sidelines but I'd love to get more involved. Yes,.

A

Of course, um in the past uh uh someone I don't remember who I'm sorry uh suggested.

A

We could do like a spreadsheet to track all the things, because sometimes it can be a bit confusing uh to know um the context around uh a specific cherry pick and not only the the technical context, which is obviously important, but sometimes uh it's not reflected in the PRS that you, whoever is reviewing them, already, had a chat with um the people involved on slack and things like like that has happened to me many times with, for example, ligit and and but I also don't update anyone else, because I know that no one will be there.

A

So it will be like a double effort. But someone uh proposed to have a spreadsheet um with like uh those type of details, and so I can I'm happy to do that. I, usually don't do it, because it's mostly me and Marco, um and we update on on slack uh or or- and it's also like last minute and a bit more of effort, but I'm very happy to to do it this time around. um Since we have a couple of extra days, so yep we'll do that and and I will helping you cool.

E

Yeah sounds good, doesn't have to be anything official or anything, but just like.

A

That a little bit more, no, no, no, no, no, no, like my spreadsheet, will be just be like.

E

A

D

Just to point out one potential issue that uh I think this is a great idea, but I think that we right now on the release managers can try to pick a probe. So this is some blocking that you might have, but you can still go together and like discuss Cherry, picks or something like that. There was some idea that we built a plugin and it's going to allow uh release financial Associates to try to pick appropriers, but I can find the issue right now.

D

So I can link it later if I, if I'm able to find it. But there is still no progress on that. But, as I said, we can probably still do some like some run together or something like that. Yes, I think it will be useful. Yeah.

A

That's a good point: Thank You Marco, but yeah. Definitely even if it's I don't know, in my mind uh thing that I had um yeah as an example would be like if Jim could do some reviews, and literally just let me or or Marco know like this- is ready to get in I already went through. So it was good and that actually would help a lot yeah um and so I don't know we can coordinate or even if you just want to see how things are done. That's also great.

A

A

um Then thank you. Let's go to. uh Oh I, see that people added uh stuff now um go update. I done press releases next week, uh RC one on Thursday on Tuesday, okay, so release team.

F

Yeah things are going pretty good for us. um The RC one cup mentioned has been mentioned already. um Yeah um releases on the 11th right now. We're kind of full steam ahead on comms and um docs and release notes um have the webinar with cncf scheduled for next Friday. So release is next Tuesday and then um they originally wanted to schedule.

F

The webinar on Tuesday, but I figure, I I, wanted to add a little buffer time because I'm pretty sure the release date has slipped for the last two releases so like just in case we weren't able to make that Tuesday like let's not plan to do the webinar that day um and then you know, kubecon is the following week. So um I'm gonna do that webinar me and Mark will do the webinar on Friday and then I will hop on a plane to Amsterdam later that day, um yeah lots of fun um but yeah I.

F

Think things are good I'll. uh All indications so far kind of show that we we will hit that that release date, Target so yeah.

A

Great, uh thank you Xander. uh Do you have any questions for sander.

A

um Well, I hope that everything goes uh swimmingly with those uh with that schedule.

A

um Do we have any other topics that are not in the agenda.

A

Okay, yes I'm here.

B

I just wanted to ask about the shadow program I wanted. You know to contribute more and your active member in the kubernetes, so I just wanted to ask if, if I'm not right, it's after the release, okay, right.

F

Yeah the sorry go ahead: Veronica.

A

No I was literally going to say, I I believe that Thunder is the best person sure.

F

um So we actually were in the process right now of doing the nominations for all of the leads for the the 1.28 release, um so that team is putting to like coming together.

F

um I would guess that applications to Shadow for 1.28 would open um either the week after kubecon or a week after that, and and probably a week after that, um that's yeah I think that's, probably the timeline that they'd be looking at right now, but um yeah so keep an eye on and if you're here, you're, probably already on the um Sig release mailing list, um that's where the information will get sent out once applications are open.

F

um Yeah! That's great thanks for information.

A

E

Yeah I was going to mention Emir too, since you know it's kind of hard to time exactly when the shadow applications opened or when they close or keeping up with it, I mean personally I have a hard time even keeping up with it myself I would recommend if you are plugged into these meetings like you're intending right now for Sig release or the release team, that Xander's leading um I think just staying plugged into the community you're going to be kind of aware of it and getting helped out and and learning some of the vocabulary and learning some of the people, and so while definitely keep an eye out for that shadow application.

E

There's nothing stopping you from passively getting involved right now or actively getting involved in the future and I. Think personally, speaking, plugging into these meetings is a great step to like just kind of stay involved and then potentially you'll hear when those announcements come out here after the release. So just a personal antidote, I guess.

B

Sure, thanks for a suggestion, I'll keep an eye and also I will attend everything. Thank you.

A

E

Be careful with that one.

A

Same note, I was I was even though we would. It would be great to have you happy the shadow as an official Shadow, always feel free to to come, contribute and and and attend the meetings and see where you can help.

A

um You don't necessarily need to be an official Shadow to to be able to to help out with some some of the stuff. Some of the tasks do require an official status or, for some reasons and I'm happy to to discuss applying um in general um yeah. You can just come and and see what. If.

B

There's anything if there's an escape, maybe I can help out. So maybe you can assign me or you know just.

A

B

Over to me, yes,.

A

We rarely have like one specific task to be like go. Do this uh it's more like we have this big set of problems or whatever, and then we need individuals to start adopting little pieces of of it depending on time and skills availability. Many things like that, so my personal recommendation is for you.

A

If you're interested is to hang out in the slack Channel and literally fish for for interesting things to do, and if you need um you need any specific help, you can ping me I'm, Veronica and I'm sure that most of the people here would be happy to help as well.

B

Yeah for sure, thanks, though,.

A

All right, anyone else has additional topics.

D

Yeah I like to usually see the agenda about a structural test output for reptests, and there is two issue from Ben Elder uh for pay, release and k6 promo tools. uh That's basic idea to provide some junit format of tests, so proud can parse it and there's like three hours tool that can be used to debug test, so that might be very useful in larger apples like release or promo promo tools. So it can be easy following what's going on and basically there was slight thread and some plus one.

D

If that is okay would be good, and maybe we can consider this as something that is a good issue for a beginner. If anyone wants to help I think it shouldn't be too complicated, but yeah we can decide that problem.

A

Great, oh, um thank you. Marco I, see that there's a lot of activity in the chats for uh the I mean this question and yeah, and also relevant to probably a member's question. um If you're curious about what Marco just mentioned, um feel free to Ping him um yeah. Okay, and does anyone have any specific questions for Margo on this topic?.

A

Okay, uh anything else.

A

Right there are no more topics: I'm gonna, give you your time back and thank you so much for attending and very nice meeting you Amir and see you on the internet.

A

D

B

Take care of everyone bye.
