⚡Lightning Talk: How Writing a Cluster Inventory API Plugin Led Me To Maintainership
summary
Built a working Secret Reader plugin for KEP-5339’s Cluster Inventory API that implements kubeconfig-from-Secret semantics, discovers that the spec lacks an args mechanism, and drives a spec change to add plugin arguments (needed for namespace and class parameters). Released as the first official plugin, maintains it through ~30 merged PRs, lands it in Craftsman Software’s platform, and watches it get adopted by other tools while continuing feature work and fixes.
