Exception request for KEP-3017 'Pod Healthy Policy for PDBs'

[Filip Krepinsky]

Hi,

Please review the exception request below.

Thank you,

Filip

Enhancement name: Pod Healthy Policy for PDBs

Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): alpha
SIG: sig-apps
k/enhancements repo issue #: 3017
PR #’s: 113375, 113376
Additional time needed (in days): 5
Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: This feature helps users to prevent their applications from getting stuck when evicting pods, which in turn can block cluster-autoscaler and draining of nodes.
Risks from adding code late: (to k8s stability, testing, etc.): Almost all of the new code is behind the PDBPodHealthyPolicy feature gate and should be covered by unit and integration tests. The overall risk is low.
Risks from cutting enhancement: (partial implementation, critical customer usecase, etc.) Users will have to live with the current behaviour of PDBs that is insufficient for many use cases (#72320).
