We want anyone who's interested to know what's discussed in this forum. Agenda: \- Andy - demo remote execution and port forwarding \- Quinton - Cluster federation - Postponed \- Clayton - UI code sharing and collaboration around Kubernetes Notes from meeting: 1\. Andy from RedHat: * Demo remote execution * kubectl exec -p $POD -- $CMD * Makes a connection to the master as proxy, figures out which node the pod is on, proxies connection to kubelet, which does the interesting bit. via nsenter. * Multiplexed streaming over HTTP using SPDY * Also interactive mode: * Assumes first container. Can use -c $CONTAINER to pick a particular one. * If have gdb pre-installed in container, then can interactively attach it to running process * backtrace, symbol tbles, print, etc. Most things you can do with gdb. * Can also with careful flag crafting run rsync over this or set up sshd inside container. * Some feedback via chat: * Andy also demoed port forwarding * nsenter vs. docker exec * want to inject a binary under control of the host, similar to pre-start hooks * socat, nsenter, whatever the pre-start hook needs * would be nice to blog post on this * version of nginx in wheezy is too old to support needed master-proxy functionality 2\. Clayton: where are we wrt a community organization for e.g. kubernetes UI components? * google-containers-ui IRC channel, mailing list. * Tim: google-containers prefix is historical, should just do "kubernetes-ui" * also want to put design resources in, and bower expects its own repo. * General agreement 3\. Brian Grant: * Testing v1beta3, getting that ready to go in. * Paul working on changes to commandline stuff. * Early to mid next week, try to enable v1beta3 by default? * For any other changes, file issue and CC thockin. 4\. General consensus that 30 minutes is better than 60 * Shouldn't artificially try to extend just to fill time.
