Hello everyone,
I would like to propose the creation of SIG-ibmcloud with a purpose similar to other cloud provider SIGs such as SIG-aws, SIG-azure and SIG-gcp. Below are the details: *Mission statement:* A Special Interest Group (SIG) for building, deploying, maintaining, supporting, and using Kubernetes on IBM Public and Private Cloud. *Secondary statement:* The SIG will be focused on designing, discussing, and maintaining the IBM Cloud provider and its relevant work. The SIG responsibilities will also include roadmap and release requirements for Kubernetes on IBM Cloud. *Purpose of the SIG:* The IBM Cloud Container Service (ICS) and IBM Cloud Private (ICP) are built on Kubernetes and related CNCF projects. IBM is a platinum member of the CNCF and significant numbers of IBM developers are working on upstream Kubernetes and related projects like helm, etcd, envoy/istio, prometheus etc. The specific purpose of the SIG includes: - Provide an open collaboration platform to rapidly growing ICS and ICP Kubernetes community to discuss feedback and share knowledge. - Identify work that can be contributed back to the Kubernetes upstream. - Identify needed improvements in the Kubernetes based on user feedback. - Encourage and mentor ICS and ICP developers, and ICS and ICP adopters to contribute to the Kubernetes various upstream repositories. - Act as a liaison between Kubernetes upstream and IBM Cloud Kubernetes implementation, conformance testing etc. The SIG is not intended to discuss ICS and ICP technical development issues rather it will be Kubernetes focused. *Implementation:* - The SIG will follow all pre-requisite as specified by the SIG Governance including one hour bi-weekly call, google group, github work, etc. There is already a Kubernetes slack channel for IBM Cloud, #ibm-cloud which will be renamed per SIG naming convention. - The SIG will have 3 leaders at any given time. I will be an initial point of contact as we work on creating the SIG. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!!
