SIG Architecture Charter

This charter adheres to the conventions described in the Kubernetes Charter README and uses the Roles and Organization Management outlined in sig-governance.

Scope

The Architecture SIG maintains and evolves the design principles of Kubernetes, and provides a consistent body of expertise necessary to ensure architectural consistency over time.

In scope

Code, Binaries, Docs, and Services

  • Conformance test definitions
  • API definitions
  • Architectural renderings
  • API conventions
  • Design principles
  • Deprecation policy

Cross-cutting and Externally Facing Processes

  • API review process
  • Conformance test review and management
  • The Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal (KEP) process and KEP reviews
  • Design documentation management
  • Deprecation policy management
  • Architectural initiative backlog management

Out of scope

  • KEPs that do not have architectural implications or impact are managed by their respective sponsoring SIG(s)
  • The release enhancement delivery process that is part of the SIG-Release Release Team subproject

Roles and Organization Management

This sig follows and adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in sig-governance and opts-in to updates and modifications to sig-governance.

Additional responsibilities of Chairs

  • Manage and curate the project boards associated with all sub-projects ahead of every SIG meeting so they may be discussed
  • Ensure the agenda is populated 24 hours in advance of the meeting, or the meeting is then cancelled
  • Report the SIG status at events and community meetings wherever possible
  • Actively promote diversity and inclusion in the SIG
  • Uphold the Kubernetes Code of Conduct especially in terms of personal behavior and responsibility

Deviations from sig-governance

Subproject Creation

Federation of Subprojects as defined in sig-governance

To do

  • There remains lack of consensus in this SIG regarding the need for company and other diversity in the leadership of this SIG and it's subprojects, beyond what is contained in sig-governance. This still needs to be resolved and documented in this charter. Further details may be found here.

  • It remains unspecified whether and how SIG-Architecture gets involved in resolving technical conflicts within and between other SIG's, and this SIG's sub-projects. This still needs to be resolved and documented in this charter.
