Kuberentes SIG Release Meeting for 20230919

A

Okay, welcome everyone. uh This is the Sig release meeting today's 19th September 2023. If I'm not wrong, I'm always wrong and my name is Carlos I'm Tech, lead and on the cigarette list and I'm gonna share my screen with the agenda.

A

If I can find it.

A

Can you give a thumbs up if you can see my screen? Okay, thank you and let's go uh again like just a rephrasing. uh We have two. We already have the meeting notes for the next week. The 26th. Please ignore that and let's just move a little bit further on the today's meeting.

A

uh There is uh anyone new to the meeting that or anyone that wants to introduce yourself and say hello.

B

um Well, I'll go ahead, uh I'm new to the meeting I've based out of Australia and just trying to become more active within the overall open source. Kubernetes space I used to be a contributor for Argo and um another tool called artelius practicus, but just trying to become more active here.

A

Welcome. Thank you.

A

C

A

D

D

um uh I'm from Shanghai China, um there really know the Shadow on in 1.20, 29 I'm, contributed to uh instrumentation under secret doors and so and I want to learn about the release process. uh That's all. Thank you.

A

Okay, thank you. Welcome and I forgot two things. One is the notes taker but looks like a Joseph red took this role and the second is uh remember: this meeting is being recorded and we are under the kubernetes code of conduct and in general it's just be nice to each other, this code of conduct, okay, anyone else wants to introduce yourself or say hello,.

C

Yeah I might go, I am looking forward to uh finding things in which I, maybe a gay candidate, to contribute to I I was a past release, team uh contributor uh or version. Well, not 12 and 1.13 um yep happy to be here and I'm looking forward to learn a little bit more right.

A

Welcome Michael.

A

D

A

Okay, thank you. Let's go to the Super project updates for the release engineer a pet releases team. I I saw you writing some stuff. Maybe you can give some yeah.

E

So I'll save it on the agenda we'll edit in after this, but I wanted to mention that we're going to cut the alpha release uh for 129 today, um but it looks like we're still blocked. There's a staple set. Blocker I was looking to get more information on that. um But I would imagine the next. You know 24 48 Hours, depending if we can get the result.

E

We should be cutting that out for release here shortly and then I'm going to copy almost identical to the 126 release, schedule, which is around the same time frame for the patch releases and then share that with the team today to get that merged, because I'm overdue on the schedule for patch releases, so I should be coming uh here shortly.

A

Okay and uh this uh Alpha cut is blocked. Do you know why or anyone have this information.

E

F

E

F

uh I was just going to talk about the uh PR that I'm sorry issue I have put in the in my updates.

F

Let me also add it here, so we are tracking this flaky job right now, uh it's a release in master blocking job.

F

We are waiting for some follow-up from the issue owners right now to just understand if it is Alpha blocking or not.

A

Yeah, which, which blocking is that do you have a PR or an issue that we.

F

Can yeah I pasted I pasted the link in the chat.

A

Oh in the chat, it's.

F

A stateful set basic stateful set functionality I'm talking about one two: zero; seven double zero on TK.

F

So there is some discussion on this uh issue regarding uh some uh rollbacks to fix the flaky job, but that is not done as of now um I. Think one of the CI signal Shadows have followed up on the issue already asking if it is going to be Alpha blocking or not, and we are waiting to get back some uh response on that.

F

E

I think that's a good point too. We need to figure out if this is Alpha blocking or not, because this possible, you cut the alpha release, as is um if we wanted to um but yeah. Let me get that information to date and follow up with the team on Slack.

D

Thank you. That's.

E

A

A

There is any other questions for the patch releases and the alpha cut.

G

Oh yeah there's some agenda items regarding the regular perpetualists that we had in September last week, but for that is there any other for Alf cut.

F

um Not very much related to today's Alpha cut, but again it's a release. Team item. We also have another uh cap G uh job, which is a release informing, and there was some discussion around demoting it from release and forming dashboard Carlos. You are already aware- and you suggested to remove it from the board, but I also read few comments from dims suggesting to keep it on the board and try to fix it, and um just just coming back from your PR, where already some activity like active activity is going on, uh I was thinking.

F

If we, since it's a release in forming- and we are- we have already kind of decided to remove it, so just keeping it there uh till maybe the next Alpha cut and uh giving us maybe a week worth more time to try fixing it before actually demoting it from the dashboard. That is what I was suggesting um and I I wanted to maybe have a discussion around this.

A

Okay- uh let's bring this topic to this, because these are like current and working on that uh job. To fix that the issue is looks like the the main, the kubernetes on Main, the 129, it's deprecated, the cloud provider. We were using a cap, G the cap provider GCE for the Google Cloud and looks like that is not allowed anymore and we need to use the CCM in instead of the cloud provider external one and.

E

A

Discovered this last weekend and I'm in touch with the persons, the maintainers of the CCM for gcp. You see because that project is like have I, didn't get it how to deploy those things, but uh it's almost done I would say it's I, think more. Maybe tomorrow or Thursday I can finish this uh change and then the job gonna be green. Again, it's.

C

Not because the.

A

The test is not running it. It's like. We need to change things, how to deploy the cluster the workload cluster, but.

C

A

This in a good shape now.

A

The release in forming this job for now.

C

It's gonna failing.

A

But we have the the tracking issue and everything in place, but uh I think like we can keep this job and not remove those.

F

Yeah thanks for the update yep, that is also one of the jobs I, think that will come in uh that's on release informing at the moment but red uh and might uh poses to take some decision on 129 alpha one but uh yeah.

A

Yeah this is the discussion is helpful, yeah yeah. This doesn't impact the Alpha One.

F

A

C

Other comments or questions.

A

Okay, let's move to the OBS packages, uh I guess, Marco and.

G

We did a cover departure associate, so I would like that.

D

G

We had the picture list this last week. uh I just wanted to do quickly. Let everyone know about that. uh There are no issues that.

C

Are outstanding.

G

uh The only issue like the only issues that he had it is with image signing, which is a known issue, and we said the emails to K there, which is also a known issue, something that we actually have for a few months now uh this issue and we actually have an issue. We had this staging job flake two times for 126, if I remember correctly, I, don't know why something about memory like not enough memory, the build job getting killed, but I, don't really know why it is happening.

G

It will need deeper investigation if it happens again, but let's cross our fingers that it was something maybe one of him with a Google Cloud Builder. That's not going to happen again because there's no other resource type that we can use and that provides more memory uh than we have right now. uh As of action items, we need to update the patch releases calendar to include the latest Specialists.

G

If anyone wants to take that, it is a very simple thing, it should be done as soon as possible, so in the next day or so. I would recommend, because it is also already a week, and it will be nice to include the Specialists. But if anyone can done it quickly and want to.

D

G

It a try. I left an example PR how it is done, give it a try and just let us know that you're taking care of it. If no one takes it by tomorrow,.

D

G

Some point I can take care of it.

E

Yeah I'm happy to take that I'm gonna own it unless somebody on this call is new to contributing a release and they wanted to take it, take a shot at it because I've done it before, but I'm happy to own it. If not.

B

um I would be happy to take a shot, go.

E

Go for it I'm very I'm, very.

B

Green on this, so.

E

Perfect, you can go for it and then feel free to reach out to me at slack. If I can help it all right.

C

I was gonna, say how about we all just pair on it for the first time.

E

That works for me, cool thanks, I saw the midnight I, don't see, who that other person was that was speaking up as well. I.

B

Think that's Michael perfect.

E

G

Okay, uh so we'll see, if anything is stated like approval or something like that, uh please let me know and I can help with that uh yeah that was uh Jim, Jim, Angel and Amit uh was talking against Michael, so you are eventually going to figure it out. It's like um yeah Alpha cut is something that we do.

E

G

Questions about the past releases.

G

Okay, I: don't think that there's a no I think we can go to the OBS part.

E

G

Thank you. uh So it's a general update, uh I didn't have too much time to work on OBS this in last week, so no significant progress, but something to highlight is that we have issue with Cube ADM packages with all of them that we ever published. uh This is because uh this is actually my bed I didn't notice. It is that the dropping that is installed and installed cubeadm and it's.

C

G

For cubelet I actually have a different path to the file that contains environment variables, on Debian, based up here operating system and installed from Debian and on RPM based operating system for one it is uh indices, config directory for RPM and for Debian operating system. It is in defaults directory that caused some cost is to become broken in a way, uh as folks were figuring out. This exact issue I created a PR to fix it by using subset magic like.

E

G

Packages for Debian I hope that is going to work I'm going to give it a try. Eventually, if you get Alpha cut soon, then we are going to submit Alpha packages as well, but the issue is that this only applies to patch releases and releases coming after this fix was merged. So we can't edit the existing packages to fix this issue.

G

So maybe we should find a way to communicate these issues, maybe like pinned to the key release repo or something like that, I'm going to figure that out tomorrow and then we can figure out how to proceed every Priyanka go ahead. Please.

F

G

Alpha cut is all good, it is fixed, it doesn't have the same issue, it is not test. However, this is depending part, but I think we can use the offer release to test it properly.

F

G

uh This is speaking of the issue with Cube idea packages. uh I will figure that out tomorrow with folks how to properly handle it. uh uh Another thing is our status of the LFX project. Nitish was working last week or getting the API type sorted, and we have the API types for managing OBS projects, which is quite good progress, given that it is only this that only the third week started this week. So the next part is that.

E

G

Go ahead and implementing the functions for better check projects like for iterating with the OBS apis and using these API types. Then we are going to see about biologic packages. That's what is afterwards so stay tuned, I hope to have some more uh updates. Next week, speaking of action actors, the airport and same as ever project board. Is there if you find anything that you would like to work on, please reach out to me and then we can discuss it.

G

Do you have any questions for the OBS part.

G

Okay, I will take that as a no thanks. Everyone thank.

A

You Marco and about that project board. If you have like, if you find any issue that you like at work, just uh getting in touch with first and then we can figure out like if you need the help or something else, uh uh next topic supply chain security, I, don't think we have any updates on this uh Sasha. Do you have anything from my side? I'm, not working on this part. For this couple of weeks, no I don't have any update, really it's related to that. Okay, thank you.

A

Let's move to the release team, this kpg conforms Main Street artifacts. We already discussed I'm active in work on this to fix this job. I'm gonna take a few more days, but uh I think there is no need to demote this from the releasing form in this job has been like a in the releasing farming for a long time already I think in the farming informings now I don't want to move this to the releasing blocking for now a Priyanka that now, okay, who is taking care of the other topic they are for one I.

A

Think of Jim Moretz said that right.

F

Yeah I think we are. We are good on the first two, um the other, the last one is just an update that uh Shadow orientation meetings are planned for this week. What standard had created invites for both of them, so those are the only updates from the East end. This week, yeah.
