Keynote: Backstage with Kubernetes
summary
Kubernetes moves to a three-month release cadence and ships 1.6 with specific features like node allocatable (beta) and expanded role based access controls, claiming more predictable releases. Community size hits 1,500 unique contributors with ~150 active per month and Google down to ~42% of commits. Governance leans on 24 SIGs, a PM/Program SIG feature repo for release freeze, and pushes conformance plus standards work (CNI, Open Service Broker, CSI) to prevent fragmentation and keep upgrades portable.
