SIG Cluster Lifecycle Intro – Justin Santa Barbara, FathomDB & Lucas Käldström
summary
SIG describes concrete outputs: kubeadm as the lightweight bootstrapper (beta, used as the building block for bootstrapping control planes and generating certs), kops as an opinionated AWS/GCE installer (kops 1.9 released), and an alpha Cluster API that defines Cluster/Machine/MachineDeployment types to let provider-specific machine controllers provision instances. Work includes etcd upgrades (3.2), TLS/encryption support, add‑on lifecycle discussions, and a migration path toward a unified machine API — prototypes exist and some providers already experiment with implementations.
