Needs: - include scoping(cluster namespace) - slight customization (naming changes, but not major config) - multiple positions on how todo this including allowing external or simple extensions - PetSet creates instances w/stable namespace - Workflow proposal - Distributed Chron. Challenge is that configs need to create multiple objects in sequence - Trying to figure out how balance the many config options out there (compose, terraform,ansible/etc) - Goal is to “meet people where they are” to keep it simple - Q: is there an opinion for the keystore sizing - large size / data blob would not be appropriate - you can pull data(config) from another store for larger objects - SIG Report - SIG-federation - progress on Ubernetes-Lite & Ubernetes design - Goal is to be able to have a cluster manager, so you can federate clusters. They will automatically distribute the pods. - Plan is to use the same API for the master cluster - [Quinton's Kubernetes Talk](https://youtu.be/L2ZK24JojB4) - [Design for Kubernetes:](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/19313) - Conformance testing Q+A Isaac Hollander McCreery - status on conformance testing for release process - expect to be forward compatible but not backwards - is there interest for a sig-testing meeting - testing needs to a higher priority for the project - lots of focus on trying to make this a higher priority To get involved in the Kubernetes community consider joining our [Slack channel](http://slack.k8s.io/), taking a look at the [Kubernetes project](https://github.com/kubernetes/) on GitHub, or join the [Kubernetes-dev Google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-dev).
