Kubernetes Conformance WG Intro – William Denniss
summary
Kubernetes conformance is an opt‑in CNCF certification that requires vendors to run the community E2E tests and upload reproducible Sonobuoy CLI tarballs and logs; failure to maintain recent Kubernetes builds leads to decertification. 55 partners and 34 distributions are already listed. Only about 18% conformance coverage of 800+ E2E tests exists now, and the working group targets a 40% stable API coverage increase by end of Q3 plus tooling: a scanner SaaS, ETL client library and strict <1% flaky test policy.
