We want: - To keep test annotations simple, using both WithFeatureGate and WithFeature should only be necessary when a test really has requirements that go beyond "feature gate needs to be enabled". - To run tests which depend only on feature gates being enabled in the ci-kubernetes-e2e-kind-alpha-features resp. ci-kubernetes-e2e-kind-beta-features, because otherwise we may have a proliferation of many bespoke jobs which only run very few tests. This would make testing more expensive for Kubernetes. - To enable those tests only once in the ci-kubernetes-e2e-kind-alpha-features and ci-kubernetes-e2e-kind-beta-features definition instead of having to update those each time feature gates change. This can be achieved by adding `Feature:Alpha` resp. `Feature:Beta` as Ginkgo labels instead of just `Alpha` and `Beta`. Then jobs which are configured to skip tests with feature dependencies via --label-filter=!/Feature:.+/ will skip tests which are labeled with just WithFeatureGate. The ci-kubernetes jobs can select to include such tests with a special regexp that mimicks a negative lookahead (see k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-testing/e2e-tests.md) Note that removing WithFeature depends on first updating job definitions to use --label-filter or to skip based on the inline `[Alpha]` or `[Beta]` text, otherwise tests that were previously skipped because of WithFeature might start to run in jobs which don't have the feature gate enabled. |

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.
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.
