This change optimizes the kubeadm/etcd `AddMember` client-side function by stopping early in the backoff loop when a peer conflict is found (indicating the member has already been added to the etcd cluster). In this situation, the function will stop early and relay a call to `ListMembers` to fetch the current list of members to return. With this optimization, front-loading a `ListMembers` call is no longer necessary, as this functionally returns the equivalent response. This helps reduce the amount of time taken in situational cases where an initial client request to add a member is accepted by the server, but fails client-side. This situation is possible situationally, such as if network latency causes the request to timeout after it was sent and accepted by the cluster. In this situation, the following loop would occur and fail with an `ErrPeerURLExist` response, and would be stuck until the backoff timeout was met (roughly ~2min30sec currently). Testing Done: * Manual testing with an etcd cluster. Initial "AddMember` call was successful, and the etcd manifest file was identical to prior version of these files. Subsequent calls to add the same member succeeded immediately (retaining idempotency), and the resulting manifest file remains identical to previous version as well. The difference, this time, is the call finished ~2min25sec faster in an identical test in the environment tested with. |

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.
