Description

Kubernetes SIG Release (1.27) for 20230221

A

Foreign and Welcome to our today's sick release meeting this meeting adheres to the cncf code of conduct, which basically boils down to be mindful what you said.

A

um Please add yourself to the list of attendees and thanks again to Joseph for taking notes. Today we have a fairly light audience and I don't see anyone on the call who seems to be new, so I think we can skip this topic Point, um but nevertheless, I think we can probably get some subject updates. Do we have anyone from release engineering who would like to provide us an update on that?

A

B

You I am here, but I was out for the past few weeks, so I'm not not up to date on any of the progress so far.

A

Yeah, maybe we can just highlight the enhancement uh about uh obs implementation, so I have it in the chat. So this one needs some final review so that we can start working on it. It's I mean we are still past and hence enhancement freeze, but this is an out of three enhancement and we can nevertheless still get the update to the enhancement, merged and start working on the OBS implementation itself and I think Marco requested multiple times review, but I think there was some additional feedback.

A

Yes exactly last week, so I'm kinda convinced that we can merge it sooner than later and then start working on that. Unfortunately, Marco is not on a call.

B

Okay, I I can for sure it's like a look and and uh drop some comments if I see something but uh uh I see that it has been previewed fairly extensively.

A

Yeah cool, thank you.

A

All right, I, don't have anything else. Do we have any other topics regarding release engineering.

B

Well, I have I just have an update, so I one of the the projects that I wanted to kick off um in this first quarter was resuming the generating attestations for our Wheels and I'm I've been feeling pretty I. Don't I, don't know like responsible, because we are.

B

There are other projects that are looking up to us to get that uh work done so that they can reuse our tools and also um you know, share some knowledge and feedback into what we're building and uh so I I think it's uh time to kick that out on the development, and so the the initial plan would be uh the salsa tester was written last month and the plan was to have to merge a code that Muhammad has been developing 4K native because he's able to he already has working code to extract information from brow about the builds that it runs.

B

So we could integrate those two into one single accessor that not only understands GitHub actions and Cloud build like it does that, but also can query Pro to get information.

B

um So I need to think back with him to see how that's going if it's in a workable State and we can maybe merge the project and then uh in parallel, maybe start using the adjuster to generate that Sensations for the projects that we have that are maybe simpler.

B

Like uh I, don't know, maybe try it on side, guys or one of those other smaller, seek release projects and then start ironing out box that refund and then finally moving it up all the way to to use it that kubernetes itself, um I I, just started um kind of putting together this work and I I plan to start um before the month runs out uh starting testing it in one of the repositories.

B

So if uh I'll I'll try to share the updates as I go in the channel and if anybody is interested in helping me around on that one, uh please let me know.

A

Yeah cool that sounds pretty great um I'm, already really interested in that, because um there are other. As you already mentioned, there are other projects and, for example, in the security profiles operator, which is sponsored basic node. We are trying to find out how we can achieve salsa compliance um and we are already using the infrastructure of kubernetes. So hang hooking into uh internet process is probably the easiest way for us to get it done.

B

Awesome yeah, um let's um think back later, and how we can also maybe start running it in in those releases. Cool.

A

And if other radius engineering topics I know that we are having some ongoing PRS out about moving to registry cates.io and I would assume that they are just in flight and don't need further attention right.

B

I I haven't been up to date. Maybe Arnold, maybe I see our noise on the call.

B

Maybe you are uh familiar with the update, so we when I when I had to you know when I went uh on on uh on PTO the the thing that was just fire was that get from uh to freeze the registering so I think that I just took a quick look yesterday and uh it has been reviewed a little bit already so, uh but I think um most of the um I had to show up at the gates, infra meeting the next one to see just to think on where it's how it's looking but the.

B

But before the cap we had already discussed the implementation, so it should be mostly frictionless.

A

Yeah, for example, we have something like this PR.

A

And there was also a discussion or an issue opened by Ben about phasing out uh yeah. It was facing out old content in the registry and there was a lot of feedback about this one.

A

So my idea was to just let it let the dust settle and then by the conclusion, what we want to do with that.

B

Okay, yeah this, this one seems like yeah this. This also dates back to discussions yeah exact months ago, yeah, so yeah.

A

Okay, if we don't have any further release engineering topics and do we have anyone on the call who would like to provide us an update on the release team.

C

Yeah I can chat about that. um It's uh it's! Oh! It's quiet right now, where pass enhancements freeze, um so things are, are pretty common, the lead up to code freeze, it's it's a weirdly chill release overall um I didn't get a single exception request after enhancements freeze um which, and we only we only I I'm yeah. We only lost nine after enhancements. Freeze so I think we're. The total number of tracks is in the 80s.

C

um It's it's gonna, be a big release and which normally I would think would equate to a chaotic release cycle. But things have been very calm, so just just a weirdly good time. All around um yeah we'll see how things go in the week up to code. Freeze um yeah, especially with the number of tracks enhancements that we have, but um for now things are good um on the the topic of the registry.

C

um We are going to be highlighting that as one of the major themes of the release and so I've asked the communications team to make sure that that's included in the release blog as like a notable thing to draw attention to, and then um we also talked about adding it to the release, notes, um I, think the the current release notes lead was doing some looking into like how we can manually add that to the release notes but I I did you know I think as long as we have it highlighted as a major item on the blog I think will be okay, um yeah, that's that's kind of where we are right now.

A

Cool. Thank you for this update.

A

Any other topics regarding the release team.

A

All right, thank you. So then we can just jump over to the home discussion topics. um What directly comes came into my mind was um I kind of got approval for traveling to cubecon, EU and I know that others have problems getting budget approval, um but in general I was thinking that we probably could do something like uh like. We did in Detroit having uh hang out and get together, um I I think the format of the meeting was pretty great.

A

Somehow um we had a lot of discussions which which leaded into some actions um I'm not sure. What do you think about this? Otherwise we can. The the schedule from the con of the contributor Summit has not been announced yet, but the registration is open, so I could just reach out to them and ask for a time slot.

B

Yeah I I think I think having another one like the previous one would be great, so I would suggest that we start seeing the conversations that we want to have during the get together and I think also doing some Outreach, because I feel that it was like a really great time for people who were not that involved or maybe not even familiar with security release that just happened to show up in the room, um I I think well.

B

I would like to think that we kind of welcomed them and maybe doing some Outreach to contributors uh in general just to let them know that we are going to have this get together and if they want to come and hear about our issues, firsthand would be a great time.

D

Yeah I think we should do do something. I did and uh Amsterdam as well. I felt the dialogue was really good, could also be an opportunity, as Adolfo mentioned, where perhaps everybody's not up with our work streams. You know. So it's also a good time. Maybe we roll up one of the major themes that we are working on, so that people can find an on-ramp, interesting release or ways to support us so I, say plus one to it.

A

Yeah, interestingly, maybe we can do both. We could do something like a regular meeting, which is more informal and open for discussions, and then we could also prepare something like an onboarding guide to sick release so how to contribute to sick release on multiple layers, and so we have technical non-technical elements of sick release. So uh I have no idea on the registration of the contributor Summit I was: was there a field or something like this? Where we could propose content I, don't think so. I have to double check that.

C

Here's um you can pop into the summit staff Summit Dash staff, uh slack Channel. It is public um yeah.

D

I'm on the content team, it's a little behind um Jason Tavares is running. It I think this week he should be announcing kind of like uh the cfp and everything related to that.

A

Ah That's great, it's good to know thanks.

B

Yeah, so we could like bring like ideas for the topics to discuss for the next for our next goal and then put together like a more formal. uh You know program and then share that way.

A

Yeah sounds good: I can I can take care of that? I know that Marco and Veronica will also present for sick release, so they will be there as well. Probably.

A

All right do we have any further topics. We would like to discuss.

E

Yeah hi I want to ask: what's the latest on the OBS integration I'm, not sure if there were like something, that's need to be done so I'm curious. If we made progress about this.

A

Yes, so Marco has this PR and plays about in about updating the enhancement and the enhancement basically states that we want to provide something some mirror of the current infrastructure, with respect to what we release um and then integrate this in integral by using the OBS API. Now, that's the that's the goal, I'm, not sure if we can achieve it for 127, but yeah.

E

A

So there's a risk that we that we have to delay this, um but in general the idea is to have an experimental state where we release everything in parallel and then we can decide if we want to switch over or not so that we can just test it out.

A

But um building the the packages itself will be done in the same way as we do it now. So we have. um We will not use the distributions, for example, for bundling the artifacts and building kubernetes in OBS, it's more like building the binaries uh as we do it now and then bundle those into Debian and RPM packages.

A

So this will not change.

E

A

Sorry I didn't get that.

F

Oh hi there it's Mom and Dad doing a bit late. Oh.

A

F

She had office back.

B

Yeah I was just talking about you Muhammad, uh so uh well. Well, let's finish with this subject and then I can see. Okay.

A

Yeah, do we have anything anything else regarding this subject, otherwise, I will hand it over to Adolfo. The stage is yours.

B

All right, thanks yeah, so before you join Mohammed, we were discussing about uh restarting the the generation of other stations in our in our projects, uh so the idea would be just to geek again uh the development and implementation of the of the tester that's already built, and so I was wondering. Remember that we discussed at some point that we should integrate your work querying brow for K native and maybe importing that into to add support for pro into the kubernetes tester.

B

So I was wondering if uh the state of that and if we can maybe start the integration or you need any help from that or how is it looking.

F

Oh okay, so, okay, that's a good question! So the latest on the salsa work, Canada business funnels right! So right now we do generate an attestation.

F

um I wrote some tool that does it um and then we sign it and it's actually next to the image right. So that's like software one and two done now. The next bit is um 2003. I can't do that anymore. A third-party service has to verify this attestation that I'm attaching and then attach it as a separate process, so that bit um and it's a little bit complicated.

B

In the attestation that you have running now was the project that you showed me months back where you extract all of the information from brow and then.

F

Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

B

All right, yeah.

F

We created prop jobs and get some of the metadata from the environment and then generate attestation, sign it and stick it to the image. Yeah awesome.

B

Yeah cool so um yeah, so I'm gonna take a look at that one and then see if we, if I can import it or maybe just borrow the code and move it over here. Whatever uh I'll, let you know.

D

All right, cool.

B

B

And again, if anyone is interested in helping out with that one, uh it's going to be I, don't know I I, like building those kinds of things so uh and also makes it even happier if I can share the development with someone.

F

Oh cool, um the image freezing is coming along rather well. um Most of the info changes is almost complete. um I had a little snack last night, where the job done copies. The blobs over to S3 are like a mismatched identity, so fix that and then I will be in a position where I can start modifying. Keep him.

F

So yeah I think we're on track.

F

B

Sounds great and um I need to catch up on that and so I'll start showing again showing up again in the gates information. So uh if there's something that you feel that I can help with just uh let me know.

D

A

All right anything else regarding any topic, we would like to discuss.

A

Because we have a rather small audience today, I will give you around about 20 minutes back and thanks for taking notes again um see you see you all in the in the next meeting and enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks thanks.

D

A

Bye see you, everyone.
