Hi Folks,

Over time, a number of Getting Started Guides had been contributed to Kubernetes website.
General quality and levels of maintenance of all of these guides vary. Some achieve similarly
end goals with different tools. At sig-cluster-lifecycle, we believe that the best way to ensure
all documentation related to cluster provisioning and bootstrap that is published on the website
results in a conformant cluster configuration.

We would like to enforce conformance rules on getting started guides, and remove any guides
that result in non-conformant cluster configuration by end of March (i.e. after 1.10 release).

Before we go ahead and implement this, we would like to hear from sig-docs folks and any
maintainers or users of getting started guides.

Best Regards,
Ilya Dmitrichenko (@errordeveloper) / Weave DX

Strongly agree on this.

Yes, definetly.

Hey sig-docs folks,

Thanks very much for the discussion on the call yesterday!

From the minutes:

  • SIG-Docs: All in favor

    • SIG Cluster Lifecycle will open a PR of GSGs to remove (Ilya)

    • Reach out to owners for state of guide conformance?

    • Add conformance/GSG removal to in-flight guide (Zach)


I will follow-up with the action items shortly.

Kind Regards,
Ilya / Weave DX

Folks,

Thanks for the discussion so far. Looking forward to talking more at the next sig-docs meeting.
It'd help if we could make sure to reach out to original authors of guides, I wouldn't imagine that
many of them attend sig-docs calls regularly, perhaps we could just email them after we reach
a conclusion within sig-docs and ask for comments, what do people think?

Best,
Ilya

It's already determined https://github.com/cncf/k8s-conformance 


I meant more practically:  Who sets up the underlying infra?  Who follows the guide?  Who runs Sonobouy on the results of this setup?  Who asserts and records results?  When does this happen? How is it all version controlled?

The intent (as discussed during the sig cluster lifecycle meeting) is that each getting started guide maintainer is responsible for providing proof of conformance. We haven't worked out the details of how that is vetted, but we wanted to send out a very early notice so that folks that are interested in keeping their guides in the official documentation have plenty of time to ensure that they can pass the conformance suites. 

I would expect more details about the practical mechanics of vetting guides and removing non-conformant guides to be shared as we approach the 1.10 release date.

I've made progress on removing 3 guides that were evidently out-of-date.

I need help identifying the status of two Fedora guides (these depend on one another):


Next, I am going to look at Ubuntu guides.

I am not sure how to approach guides that use a hosted services.

Hey Folks,

Apologies for not being able to follow up with AIs sooner.

I've got a first PR out and it's a straightforward removal of the CentOS guide
that had been deprecated a while ago. I'll be looking into other guides soon.


Thanks,
Ilya

Do we have a list of all certified Kubernetes services, distributions, and tools?

I suggest the following categories:

1. Open-source tools developed by SIG Cluster Lifecycle: kubeadm, kops, kubespray, minikube, kube-up.sh (until it is deleted), etc., with some guidance about the role of each.
2. Pointers to other Certified Kubernetes implementations
3. Pointer to Kubernetes the Hard Way

The above roughly correspond to our original 3 categories of DIY, K8s services, and from scratch.

Misc. old DIY guides should be culled.
