[Sergey Kanzhelev]

+1 from SIG Node

There is a good amount of driving scenarios we want to validate and the code is very compartmentalized, and ready - was almost approved by code freeze

The missing PR is already approved by 6 out of 7 needed approvers, the
remaining one is only on the API side.

Enhancement name: New kubelet gRPC API with endpoint returning local
pods information
Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): none -> alpha
SIG: sig-node
k/enhancements repo issue #:
https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/4188
PR #’s: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134627
Additional time needed (in calendar days, due end of day AoE): 3
business days, to target merge on Monday at latest
Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: need initial
implementation for GKE network stack
Risks from adding code late: low, all code is disabled by the feature flag
Risks from cutting enhancement: it will delay implementation by one quarter

Thanks!
Matthias
