Last call for Kubernetes v1.32 enhancements!

[Frederico Muñoz]

Greetings,

We are slightly less than one week away [0] to Enhancements Freeze: 02:00 UTC
Friday 11th October 2024 / 19:00 PDT Thursday 10th October 2024 [1]. This email
is a FINAL REMINDER for enhancements freeze.

If you are expecting to enter an enhancement into v1.32 that has not yet been
added to the enhancements project board [2], *please reach out to your
sponsoring SIG* as a matter of urgency to have them opt it in. If you have an
enhancement opted-in to the release, *please check the project board* for the
latest status:

* Tracked: means that the enhancement has met all criteria
* At Risk: means that the enhancement has NOT yet met all criteria
* Pending Inclusion / no status: means that the enhancements team has not yet
reviewed it

The release enhancements team is actively reviewing all outstanding
enhancements. Please ping your enhancements coordinator for more specific
updates.

As a reminder: by enhancements freeze, we require that enhancements in the
release have met the following criteria:

* Have a GitHub Issue in the k/enhancements GitHub repository [3]
* Has a merged KEP in k/enhancements GitHub repository [3] that:
- Is marked as "implementable" for "latest-milestone: 1.32"
- Has all relevant sections of the KEP completed.
- Has a test plan
- Has graduation criteria
- Has an approved production readiness review [4]

*Enhancements missing this deadline will require an exception* [5].

As of the time of writing, we have 75 enhancements, of which:

* 16 are "Tracked"
* 55 are "At Risk"
* 4 waiting for status update

By SIG, these enhancements are:

- api-machinery: 6
- apps: 4
- auth: 10
- cli: 2
- instrumentation: 2
- network: 5
- node: 35
- scheduling: 3
- storage: 6
- windows: 2

If your SIG is not listed here, then it has not opted in any enhancements for
the release.

If you need any clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out in
#release-enhancements on the Kubernetes Slack workspace [6].

All the best,
--
Frederico Muñoz
