§ Overview

About this video

What You'll Learn

  1. Understand SIG Release team roles, schedules, and handoffs from release lead to release shadows.
  2. Track how CI signal, bug triage, and external dependencies determine Kubernetes release readiness.
  3. Recognize maintainer pain points around drive-by PRs, burnouts, and PR etiquette in open source.

Kat Cosgrove joins David and Laura to unpack how SIG Release ships Kubernetes: team structure, CI signal, bug triage, press embargoes, maintainer burnout, and why a Kubernetes 2.0 is unlikely.
