Cloud Provider Extraction: What We’ve Done, Where We Are and What's Left

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Status report on removing in-tree cloud provider code: the API Server no longer needs the cloud provider library and SSHTunnels deleted, cloud loops move into vendor-specific cloud controller managers, kubelet shifts volume plugins to CSI and adds an image credential provider, and a connectivity agent replaces SSH tunneling. Work includes LKG testing across repos, admission webhook replacement for PV topology labeling, and feature gates for disabling in-tree behavior. Target is full extraction by roughly release 1.25 if testing and webhook work land.
