Exception Request for KEP-5365

[Itamar Holder]

Some of the final review comments by Tim Hockin (that are, by his words, "This LGTM but just tiny things") caught me right before I had to travel (a very long trip) to Kubecon. I've just returned home recently. Therefore I wasn't able to address comments in time.

However, the implementation is 99% ready and was LGMTed and approved by multiple people, leaving just "tiny" notes alongside a final LGTM.

In addition, this is an incredibly small feature with absolutely low risk.

Enhancement name: ImageVolume with an image digest

Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): none -> alpha

SIG: sig-node

k/enhancements repo issue #: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/5365

PR #’s: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132807

Additional time needed (in calendar days, due end of day AoE): 2

Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: allows KubeVirt to replace the workaround mechanism around container disks and move to Image Volumes.

Risks from adding code late: very low. code is behind a feature gate and the feature is very small scoped.

Risks from cutting enhancement: will delay implementation by 1 quarter although implementation is practically done.

Thanks in advance.
