Intro: CNCF K8s-Conformance WG
summary
Certification program launches last year and now lists 70+ certified platforms; conformance focuses on stable APIs and requires annual recertification for the latest two minor releases, with results reproducible by end users. Testing grew from 4 new tests in 1.11 to 22 in 1.12 and then 35 more after moving the test image into the project. Audit logging and test-name-as-user-agent track API coverage; code-coverage techniques extend to end-to-end tests. Two runtimes run tests differently: kubetest from outside and sonobuoy from inside the cluster. Profiles (cloud, Windows, security) are proposed for optional feature stacks.
