- What work did the SIG do this year that should be highlighted?
In 2023, the SIG made significant progress on moving toward only leveraging community infrastructure. We now leverage OpenBuildService to build and publish Debian and RPM packages to pkgs.k8s.io.
Additionally, work was done in order to keep supported Kubernetes versions up-to-date with supported Go versions. This has helped improve security of Kubernetes patch releases by building and releasing using supported minor versions of go.
- Are there any areas and/or subprojects that your group needs help with (e.g. fewer than 2 active OWNERS)?
Not at this time.
- Did you have community-wide updates in 2023 (e.g. KubeCon talks)?
