SIG Cloud Provider Intro

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

SIG Cloud Provider explains that cloud-specific code is being extracted from core into separate repos so providers can ship independently and reduce kubelet/controller bloat. Migration uses a staged approach: introduce a migration lock while core controllers keep the old leader lock, then move controllers into a standalone cloud-controller-manager binary. Work targets out-of-tree providers and docs standardization with SIG Docs; expect multi-year rollout (started 2019, major milestones through 2020–2021) and compatibility changes like the CSI PV type change.
