Enhancement name: Pod Level Resource Managers
Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): none -> alpha
SIG: sig-node
k/enhancements repo issue #: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/5526
PR #’s:

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134768: Actively being reviewed, waiting for LGTM and approval labels

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:

'Pod Level Resources' feature graduation to GA depends on 'Pod Level Resource Managers' beta.

Risks from adding code late:

This feature affects the Topology, CPU and Memory managers when handling pod-level resource pods, however the path is fully protected by feature gate.

Risks from cutting enhancement:

It will delay 'Pod Level Resources' GA at least one quarter more.

Please disregard this email, I used a deprecated sig-node address 'kubernete...@googlegroups.com', I have already sent another "Exception Request for KEP-5526 implementation" email to the proper sig-node address 'sig-...@kubernetes.io'.

Best,

Kevin Torres

Unfortunately, the release team is REJECTING this exception request.

As discussed in the Slack thread, we'd like to see this delayed this to v1.36, allowing more time for the implementation given the scope of outstanding feedback on the PR and a mention not to rush things.
