This creates go.work and enables Go Workspaces. This is a file that includes info on k/k and all the staging modules. This depends on go 1.22 and setting FORCE_HOST_GO=true (for kube scripts, which try to be hermetic). Make this part of the normal update/verify sequence. The top-level go.work file contains no replace statements. Instead, the replace statements in the individual go.mod files are used. For this to work, replace statements in the individual go.mod files have to be consistent. hack/tools has different dependencies and can't be in the main workspace, so this adds a go.work just for that. Without this, go tries to consider all deps in all modules and pick one that works for all. This is problematic because there are so many of them that it is difficult to manage. Likewise for k8s.io/code-generator/examples and k8s.io/kms/internal/plugins/_mock - add trivial go.work files. For example k/k depends on an older version of a lib that gloangci-lint needs (transitively) and it breaks. This also updates vendor (needed to make go happy), and removes vendor'ed symlinks. This breaks a LOT of our build tools, which will be fixed subsequently. Result: `go` commands work across modules: Before: ``` $ go list ./pkg/proxy/iptables/ ./staging/src/k8s.io/api/core/v1/ main module (k8s.io/kubernetes) does not contain package k8s.io/kubernetes/staging/src/k8s.io/api/core/v1 $ go build ./pkg/proxy/iptables/ ./staging/src/k8s.io/api main module (k8s.io/kubernetes) does not contain package k8s.io/kubernetes/staging/src/k8s.io/api $ go test ./pkg/proxy/iptables/ ./staging/src/k8s.io/api main module (k8s.io/kubernetes) does not contain package k8s.io/kubernetes/staging/src/k8s.io/api ``` After: ``` $ go list ./pkg/proxy/iptables/ ./staging/src/k8s.io/api/core/v1/ k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/proxy/iptables k8s.io/api/core/v1 $ go build ./pkg/proxy/iptables/ ./staging/src/k8s.io/api $ go test ./pkg/proxy/iptables/ ./staging/src/k8s.io/api ok k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/proxy/iptables 0.360s ok k8s.io/api 2.302s ``` Result: `make` fails: ``` $ make go version go1.22rc1 linux/amd64 +++ [0106 12:11:03] Building go targets for linux/amd64 k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-proxy (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-controller-manager (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubelet (non-static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubeadm (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-scheduler (static) k8s.io/component-base/logs/kube-log-runner (static) k8s.io/kube-aggregator (static) k8s.io/apiextensions-apiserver (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cluster/gce/gci/mounter (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubectl (static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubectl-convert (static) github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo (non-static) k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e/e2e.test (test) k8s.io/kubernetes/test/conformance/image/go-runner (non-static) k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubemark (static) github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo (non-static) k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e_node/e2e_node.test (test) test/e2e/e2e.go:35:2: cannot find package "k8s.io/api/apps/v1" in any of: /home/thockin/src/kubernetes/_output/local/go/src/k8s.io/kubernetes/vendor/k8s.io/api/apps/v1 (vendor tree) /home/thockin/src/kubernetes/_output/local/.gimme/versions/go1.22rc1.linux.amd64/src/k8s.io/api/apps/v1 (from $GOROOT) /home/thockin/src/kubernetes/_output/local/go/src/k8s.io/api/apps/v1 (from $GOPATH) ... more ... ... more ... ... more ... !!!

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.
