Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Friday, 2025-04-04· at 13:45· Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 10-12·
summary
SIG Apps reports concrete changes: pod disruption budgets gain a field to count ready-only PDB counting so nonready pods can be evicted; ReplicaSet downscales now pick pods more randomly; StatefulSet adds startOrdinal for StatefulSet and explicit PVC policies for scale-down vs delete; Jobs add elastic indexed jobs with stable indices, annotations for cronjob creation time and pod index, a per-index backoffLimit (default global backoff is 6), and a job success/completion policy. Node maintenance/evacuation and job pod failure policy proposals remain in active design. Meetings every other Monday on Slack.
