Enhancements freeze is now just one week away at 01:00 UTC Friday 6th October 2023 / 18:00 PDT Thursday 5th October 2023. This email is a final reminder for the enhancements freeze.
If you are expecting to enter an enhancement into 1.29 that has not yet been added to the enhancements project board, please reach out to your sponsoring SIG as a matter of urgency to have them opt it in. For 1.29, the enhancement collection has been moved from a spreadsheet to a GitHub project board. This change was announced in a separate email.
If you have an enhancement opted-in to the release, please check the project board for the latest status:
At Risk: means that the enhancement has NOT yet met all criteria
Pending Inclusion: means that the enhancements team has not yet reviewed it
The majority of opted-in enhancements have now been reviewed. The enhancements team will be reviewing the final few shortly. Please ping your enhancements coordinator with updates accordingly.
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
Has a merged KEP in k/enhancements GitHub repository that:
Is marked as "implementable" for "latest-milestone: 1.29"
Have all relevant sections of the KEP completed
Has a test plan
Has graduation criteria
Has an approved production readiness review
Enhancements missing this deadline will require an exception.
As of the time of writing, we have 65 enhancements. Of which:
15 are "Tracked"
43 are "At Risk"
7 are “Pending Inclusion”
0 have been "Removed from Milestone"
By SIG, these enhancements are:
api-machinery: 7

instrumentation: 2
multicluster: 0
network: 11
node: 23

If your SIG is not listed here, then it has not opted in any enhancements for the release.
If you need any clarification, please do reach out in #release-enhancements on Kubernetes Slack.
Thanks,
