Exception request: Pod priority based node graceful shutdown

[Mrunal Patel]

• Enhancement name: Pod Priority Based Node Graceful Shutdown
• Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): Alpha
• SIG: Node
• Enhancement contacts: Mrunal Patel, David Porter, Shiming Zhang
• k/enhancements repo issue #2712
• PR #’s: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102915
• Additional time needed (in days): 5
• Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: This adds pod priority configuration for node graceful shutdown which makes the feature more suitable to deploy to production.
• Risks from adding code late: (to k8s stability, testing, etc.): Very low risk as this is feature gated and includes end to end tests.
• Risks from cutting enhancement: (partial implementation, critical customer usecase, etc.): Delaying including this feature means longer time to graduation and deploying to production for better node behavior at shutdown/reboot time.

Thanks,

Mrunal
