Generating the name avoids all potential name collisions. It's not clear how much of a problem that was because users can avoid them and the deterministic names for generic ephemeral volumes have not led to reports from users. But using generated names is not too hard either. What makes it relatively easy is that the new pod.status.resourceClaimStatus map stores the generated name for kubelet and node authorizer, i.e. the information in the pod is sufficient to determine the name of the ResourceClaim. The resource claim controller becomes a bit more complex and now needs permission to modify the pod status. The new failure scenario of "ResourceClaim created, updating pod status fails" is handled with the help of a new special "resource.kubernetes.io/pod-claim-name" annotation that together with the owner reference identifies exactly for what a ResourceClaim was generated, so updating the pod status can be retried for existing ResourceClaims. The transition from deterministic names is handled with a special case for that recovery code path: a ResourceClaim with no annotation and a name that follows the Kubernetes <= 1.27 naming pattern is assumed to be generated for that pod claim and gets added to the pod status. There's no immediate need for it, but just in case that it may become relevant, the name of the generated ResourceClaim may also be left unset to record that no claim was needed. Components processing such a pod can skip whatever they normally would do for the claim. To ensure that they do and also cover other cases properly ("no known field is set", "must check ownership"), resourceclaim.Name gets extended. |

Kubernetes (K8s)

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. It provides basic mechanisms for the 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.
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 the 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.
