Ever wondered how a community of volunteers maintains the world's most popular container orchestration system? From addressing the ever-challenging cloud security concerns to bringing new features to the table to helping develop an inclusive network of like-minded folks, the Kubernetes community manages to do it all.
Amid this, the Kubernetes Release Shadow Program stands out as a chance for contributors to be a part of a time-bound commitment in the release process. Also, understand the nuances of sustaining the project, including shadow roles and multiple releases before the final cut.
This talk explores how the program is an ideal means for all experienced and new contributors to become acquainted with various components of the release and various SIGs within the ecosystem. We'll also talk about how the program serves as a guide for other OSS projects, regardless of scale, so they can use all the knowledge gained so far and utilize it to their benefit.
