reflect.Call is very expensive. We currently use a switch block as part
of AddGenericConversionFunc to avoid the bulk of top level a->b
conversion for our primary types. Instead of having these be
handwritten, we should generate them.
The pattern for generating them looks like:
```
scheme.AddConversionFunc(&v1.Type{}, &internal.Type{}, func(a, b interface{}, scope conversion.Scope) error {
return Convert_v1_Type_to_internal_Type(a.(*v1.Type), b.(*internal.Type), scope)
})
```
which matches AddDefaultObjectFunc (which proved out the approach). The
conversion machinery would then do a simple map lookup and invoke the
function. This bypasses reflect.Call and in the future allows Golang
mid-stack inlining to optimize this code.
As a future step we can drop support for the reflection path and simply
return a nice error "you must write a generator for your type".
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing 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 you are a company that 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 Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
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.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/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.
