Intro: SIG Cloud Provider

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

SIG Cloud Provider forms to pull cloud-specific code out of the Kubernetes core, builds the Cloud Controller Manager and a focused cloud provider extraction subproject to move in-tree providers like AWS GCP VMware OpenStack into separate repos, and measures a ~30 MB per binary savings by removing provider dependencies. The goal is independent release cycles, smaller binaries and faster fixes; work includes staging-to-publish tooling, API abstraction design, and migration plans, but migration is slow due to dependencies, tech debt and production compatibility challenges.
