6.1 Introduction ¶
The CNCF has defined a Testing Special Interest Group to make it easier for the community to write and run tests, and to contribute, analyse and act upon test results. This chapter maps the requirements written in the previous chapters as mandatory Special Interest Group Features. It enforces the overall requirements traceability to testing, especially those offered for End-to-End Testing . The Anuket Reference Conformance (RC2) testing then matches the following Features tabs defined here.
6.1.1 Kubernetes feature gate policy ¶
Feature gates are a set of key-value pairs that describe Kubernetes features. The components of the control plane of Kubernetes Clusters can be run with different Feature Gate settings.
A feature can be in Alpha, Beta or GA stage:
- Alpha features are disabled by default, may be buggy, and support may be dropped
- Beta features are enabled by default, are well tested, and support will not be dropped (although breaking API changes may happen)
- GA features are stable, always enabled and cannot be disabled.
The policy for RA2 to include Kubernetes features as mandatory is:
Only features that are either in Beta or GA stage can be made mandatory, subject to RA2 requirements.
A list of feature gates is available here .
6.1.2 Kubernetes API policy ¶
The Kubernetes API supports all operations and communications between components, and external user commands. Everything in the Kubernetes platform is treated as an API object. Different API versions indicate different levels of stability and support. An API can have Alpha, Beta or Stable versions. The version of APIs that are backed by a feature will match the stage of the feature itself (i.e. Alpha, Beta or GA/Stable).
The policy for RA2 to include Kubernetes APIs as mandatory is:
Only APIs that are either in Beta or Stable stage can be made mandatory, subject to RA2 requirements.
The Kubernetes API reference is available here .
The list of API groups that are mandatory is:
