SIG CLI Deep Dive
summary
Deep dive into the techniques behind kubectl: how Discovery Service and OpenAPI let generic commands discover API resources and schema to survive API extensions and client/server version skew; why tools choose unstructured objects, strategic patches, or raw YAML to avoid accidentally dropping fields; how subresources expose server-side business logic; options for plugins (annotated CRDs, RPC endpoints), server-side apply progress, and a shared CLI library plus dynamic flag-to-request mapping to auto-generate create subcommands.
