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)
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.
