Building the Cloud Native Kernel: Kubernetes Release Engineering
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019 · on Tuesday, 2019-11-19· at 15:20· Room 1AB - San Diego Convention Center, Upper Level·
summary
Kubernetes release engineering now targets reproducible distro tooling instead of 3k-line bash scripts, replacing Onaga with Go utilities like crevel toolbox, branch-fastforward and push-build; a formal release engineering subgroup and patch release team manage branch lifecycles and support, with build admins owning apt/yum signing and over 100+ conformant offerings in the ecosystem. Work moves artifacts into CNCF GCP projects and aims at moving off Google infrastructure with staged promotion streams (nightly → testing → release) and package/image promotion automation.
