How to choose a SIG as a non-code Kubernetes contributor

My first work in the cloud native world was working with the SIG Docs team. I helped review some documentation and learned some of their processes. I wasn’t there long before I found out about another great SIG: Contributor Experience. Contributor Experience is all about improving the workflow, removing bottlenecks, and generally making Kubernetes a great project to contribute your time and effort. I knew ContribEx (as it’s called) is where I could make an impact.

Changes to the Kubernetes Container Image Registry

The release of Kubernetes 1.25 was when it was first announced that the Kubernetes project would be updating its official container image registry endpoint from k8s.gcr.io to the community owned registry, registry.k8s.io. The goal was to eventually sunset the old registry over time. However, as highlighted on the official Kubernetes website, this changeover has since been expedited to adopt a more sustainable infrastructure model with the first set of changes happening on Monday March 20, 2023. This post covers what changes are happening, why they’re happening, important dates to keep in mind, and what actions you need to take.

Amazon EKS now supports Kubernetes 1.23

The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) team is happy to announce support for Kubernetes 1.23. Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro can now run Kubernetes version 1.23, with support in Amazon EKS Anywhere launching soon after.

Amazon EKS now supports Kubernetes 1.22

The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) team is pleased to announce support for Kubernetes 1.22. Amazon EKS, Amazon EKS Distro, and Amazon EKS Anywhere can now run Kubernetes version 1.22. The upstream project theme for this release is “Reaching New Peaks.” The theme for the release, according to release lead Savitha Raghunathan, is due to what she described as: “in spite of the pandemic and burnout, Kubernetes 1.22 had the highest number of enhancements in any release.” This release does bring a significant number of API changes, a Kubernetes release cadence change, and many other updates. Thank you for all the work the upstream Kubernetes 1.22 Release Team did to bring this release to the greater cloud-native ecosystem.

How DevOps is like auto racing

To achieve their goals, race teams don’t think from start to finish; they flip the table to look at the race from the end goal to the beginning. They set a goal, a stretch goal, and then work backward from that goal to determine how to get there. Work is delegated to team members to push toward the objectives that will get the team to the desired outcome.
