SIG Cloud Provider: Portable K8s Across all Clouds, Roadmap and Updates
summary
Kubernetes is actively moving cloud-specific code from the monolithic repo into out-of-tree components: the control loops move from the kube-controller-manager into vendor CCMs, volumes shift to CSI (with CSI migration), and kubelet credential logic becomes a kubelet image credential provider binary. New clusters should run CCMs and CSI drivers; EKS already uses CCM since 1.22 and AWS publishes stable CCM releases for 1.20–1.24. Feature gates will later flip to disable in-tree providers, and leader-migration locks prevent double-control during upgrades.
