Enhancement Exception: Kubelet Credential Provider

[Andrew Kim]

Hey SIG Release,

The kubelet credential provider KEP (approved in v1.17), which we were
planning to work on for v1.20 was missing an enhancements tracking
issue. I was asked to file an official exception request from SIG
release since the issue is newly created.

Enhancement name: Kubelet Credential Provider
Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): alpha
SIG: cloud provider, node, auth
k/enhancements repo issue #:
https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/2133
PR #’s: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94196
Additional time needed (in days): N/A
Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: required for
cloud provider extraction/migration
Risks from adding code late: N/A
Risks from cutting enhancement: N/A

Thanks,

Andrew Sy Kim

The Kubelet Credential Provider is currently the long poll in the Credential Provider Extraction effort.

If it can't go to Alpha in 1.20, it will push back the entire effort to generate a level playing field for all Cloud Providers in Kubernetes.

This work has been advertised for multiple years and this particular effort has been discussed as coming for the last 2 releases.

I think it is important that we get it into the 1.20 release.

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for submitting this exception request., and thanks Walter for the additional context in the reply. 

This is a bit of a weird scenario here, since we didn't have the tracking issue...so thank you for opening it. We'll APPROVE this exception request conditionally on you also updating the KEP to match the new format. We would have asked this be done during the enhancement collection phase, had this not slipped through the cracks. For this KEP, that would entail migrating to the new directory structure with the new metadata file. Since we're so late in the game, we'll help you get reviews on that as soon as you all can turn that around.

Also, please be aware that code freeze is coming up on Nov 12th!

Thanks,

Jeremy Rickard // 1.20 release lead
