summary
SIG Node manages the Kubelet, container runtimes and node APIs and reports concrete results: Kubelet, CRI, Node API work continues with 24 KEPs tracked for 1.22 and 13 merged, and active planning for 1.23 including swap support, cgroups v2 memory QoS and in‑place updates. A major pod lifecycle refactor fixes termination races but uncovers flakes and a few regressions that are being backported. CI/triage moves from reactive to proactive — 90 people, 48h bug scrub, 136 issues closed and 200+ updated — to improve release stability.
