Ethan Pini ffa084f811 kubectl: Fix current-context being written to wrong file
This is what happens when writing back a OIDC refresh token:

 - plugin/pkg/client/auth/oidc/oidc.go:282
   Calls `Persist` to save the new refresh token.

 - tools/clientcmd/config.go:372
   Calls `ModifyConfig` to save the config.

 - tools/clientcmd/config.go:167
   Calls `configAccess.GetLoadingPrecedence()` to get the files
   listed from the `KUBECONFIG` environment variable.

 - tools/clientcmd/loader.go:334
   If the `ConfigAccess` was a `ClientConfigLoadingRules`, it
   directly returns the `Precedence` slice from its `rules`
   field.

   THE PROBLEM:
     The slice can be modified by the caller, unintentionally
     changing the value of the `ClientConfigLoadingRules`'
     `Precedence` field.

 - tools/clientcmd/config.go:170
   Then proceeds to in-place sort the slice returned by the
   `ConfigAccess`. This is the same slice (by identity)
   as the `ClientConfigLoadingRules`' `Precedence` field,
   destroying its intended order.

 - tools/clientcmd/config.go:179
   Calls `configAccess.GetStartingConfig` to read the original
   config so it can be compared with the new config.

 - tools/clientcmd/loader.go:339
   Calls `NewNonInteractiveDeferredLoadingClientConfig` with
   itself as a parameter.

   CONSEQUENCE:
     At this point, its the `Precedence` has been
     unintentionally sorted. When it loads the
     config again, it gives precedence to whichever
     file comes first in ascending alphabetical order.

 - tools/clientcmd/config.go:192
   If the file returned by `GetStartingConfig` has a
   different `current-context` than the new config,
   it calls `writeCurrentContext` to update the first
   kubeconfig file in the `KUBECONFIG` environment
   variable.

 - tools/clientcmd/config.go:403
   Calls `configAccess.GetDefaultFilename` to find the
   destination kubeconfig file.

 - tools/clientcmd/loader.go:358
   Iterates through the kubeconfig files returned by
   `GetLoadingPreferences` to find the first file
   that exists.

   CONSEQUENCE:
     With the slice being sorted earlier, the files
     returned by this call of `GetLoadingPreferences`
     will be sorted alphabetically, rather than by
     their intended order.

Kubernetes (K8s)

CII Best Practices Go Report Card GitHub release (latest SemVer)


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.
