The Soul of a New Command: Adding ‘Events’ to kubectl
summary
Adds kubectl alpha events (shipped in Kubernetes 1.23) that actually sorts by event time across two incompatible event APIs (v1 and events.k8s.io/v1), uses Go + Cobra and kubectl builder libraries, pages results to avoid huge responses, and skips delete events when watching so events don’t reappear an hour later. Feature resolves a 2016 issue, required a KEPS/approval path, PR opened Feb 2021 and merged after ~6 months; timeline-based filtering is not implemented yet.
