Deep Dive: SIG Apps
summary
SIG Apps defines and maintains workload APIs for single-cluster app lifecycle and introduces an Application CRD that bundles related resources and metadata (icon, maintainer, endpoint) but has no controller so it does not perform updates; updating still requires changing underlying deployments. Helm v2 security issues lead to Helm v3 removing tiller and aiming for CRD integration. Multi‑cluster is out of scope; roughly a dozen developers work on the API. A Google Cloud UI demo shows basic app listing but not complex app orchestration.
