KEP of the Week

4402: go workspaces

SIG-Arch is adding go workspace support to Kubernetes to simplfy our build tools adn remove code. However, all code generation tools based on gengo will break, and the CLI for kube_codegen will change. If you use any of our code generation tools, you will have work to do after the PR merges, probably for 1.31.

Other Merges

• Add a user namespace field to Runtime in prep for namespace support
• Add serializer and decoder support for CBOR instead of JSON; rest of CBOR support needs to be added before alpha
• AuthenticationConfiguration now has an audienceMatchPolicy API field to support configuring multiple audiences in the authenticator
• kube-apiserver now reports metrics for authorization decisions
• Integration tests for multiple audience support in structured authentication
• JWT authenticator will verify tokens even when not signed using RS256 algorithm.
• kube-apiserver can retry create requests which fail due to a name conflict
• New metrics: kublet image_pull_duration_seconds, kube-apiserver apiserver_encryption_config_controller_automatic_reloads_total
• Job controller only logs deletionTimestamp if it’s not nil
• Reduce watch request memory usage by spawning a separate goroutine
• Prevent data race in resourceclaim.Lookup.
