Currently, when running node e2e it's not possible to use the ginkgo `--repeat` flag to run the test suite multiple times. This is useful when debugging tests and ensuring they are not flaky by re-running them several times. Currently if using `--repeat` ginkgo flag, the 2nd run of the test will fail due to kubelet not starting with message like: ``` Failed to start transient service unit: Unit kubelet-20221020T040841.service already exists. ``` This is because during the test startup, kubelet is started as a transient unit file via `systemd-run`. The unit is started with the `--remain-after-exit` flag to ensure that the unit will remain even if the kubelet is restarted. The test suite currently uses `systemd kill` command to stop kubelet. This works fine for stopping the kubelet, but on the second run, when `systemd-run` is used to start systemd unit again it will fail because the unit already exists. This is because `systemd kill` will not delete the systemd unit, only send SIGTERM signal to it. To fix this, add `unitName` as a field to the `server` struct. When kubelet server is constructed, set the unit name. As part of e2e test termination, in `E2EServices.Stop()``, stop the kubelet systemd unit. By stopping the kubelet systemd unit, systemd will delete the systemd transient unit, allowing it to be created and started again in a subsequent e2e run.

Kubernetes (K8s)
Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. It provides basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If your company wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically scheduled, and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using K8s
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To use Kubernetes code as a library in other applications, see the list of published components.
Use of the k8s.io/kubernetes module or k8s.io/kubernetes/... packages as libraries is not supported.
To start developing K8s
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/k8s.io
cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
cd kubernetes
make
You have a working Docker environment.
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
cd kubernetes
make quick-release
For the full story, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide, and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
Community Meetings
The Calendar has the list of all the meetings in Kubernetes community in a single location.
Adopters
The User Case Studies website has real-world use cases of organizations across industries that are deploying/migrating to Kubernetes.
Governance
Kubernetes project is governed by a framework of principles, values, policies and processes to help our community and constituents towards our shared goals.
The Kubernetes Community is the launching point for learning about how we organize ourselves.
The Kubernetes Steering community repo is used by the Kubernetes Steering Committee, which oversees governance of the Kubernetes project.
Roadmap
The Kubernetes Enhancements repo provides information about Kubernetes releases, as well as feature tracking and backlogs.
