Intro + Deep Dive: Apps SIG
summary
SIG Apps covers developer and operator needs for running apps on Kubernetes, focusing on the Workloads API and the new Application CRD. The Application CRD groups deployments, ConfigMaps and other resources, provides metadata (icon, owners, version), offers aggregated health checks and controller-driven garbage collection, and intentionally does not deploy across clusters. The session is Q&A-heavy: Helm and OLM overlaps, operator blast-radius and namespace isolation, pod readiness gating, and concrete contributor paths (GitHub issues, sample controller, KEPs). Good if wanting design decisions and contribution entry points.
