Deep Dive: kops (Cluster Lifecycle) SIG
summary
kops now runs etcd-manager and etcdadm to migrate clusters to etcd v3, replaces the aggregated API server with CRDs and controller-runtime to simplify code and docs, and starts mapping instance groups to Cluster API machineDeployments so nodes can be managed as CRs. Bundles and operators let add‑ons be updated without full releases; kops is a conformant Kubernetes distro and is expanding cloud support (OpenStack, GCE beta→stable). Release cadence targets ~30–60 day lag with alpha/beta trains and many cherry‑picks.
