I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is v1.32.2

1.2 Version Information:

The version release, created on February 12, 2025, introduces key updates and changes to Kubernetes, with detailed information available in the linked changelog. Notable highlights or trends from this release can be further explored through the Kubernetes announcement forum and the changelog documentation.

II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

1. unauthenticated requests is not denied, neither api-server fail to run with anonymous-auth=false and AuthenticationConfiguration.Anonymous is non-nil in api-server: This issue highlights a problem with the Kubernetes API server where unauthenticated requests are not denied, even when the --anonymous-auth=false flag is set, and the AuthenticationConfiguration.Anonymous is enabled, which contradicts the expected behavior as per the documentation. The user expected the API server to fail to start or deny unauthenticated requests under these conditions, but instead, the server runs and responds to requests from anonymous users.

   • The comments discuss the inability to reproduce the issue in certain environments, identify the problem as specific to Kubernetes version 1.32, and trace the bug to a specific commit. A fix was identified in a later commit, and there is a discussion about backporting this fix to version 1.32. The conversation also touches on the potential for the issue to recur if certain code changes are made again.
   • Number of comments this week: 19

2. SSA with force conflicts should update Service: This issue describes a problem with a Kubernetes controller that uses Server-Side Apply (SSA) to manage a Service resource, where a user-induced change to the Service causes the controller's attempt to correct the state to be rejected by the API server due to a conflict. The expected behavior is that the controller's SSA request, configured to force conflicts, should automatically revert the Service to its desired state without errors, but this does not occur, leading to a manual correction requirement.

   • The comments discuss the challenges of using client-side apply (CSA) versus server-side apply (SSA) for managing Kubernetes Services, highlighting issues with the ports field and the differences in how CSA and SSA handle map keys. Suggestions include using server-side apply exclusively or considering a PUT (replace) operation as a workaround, though concerns about managing cluster-set fields and memory footprint are raised.
   • Number of comments this week: 11

3. Migrate Kubelet codebase to contextual logging: This issue involves migrating the Kubelet codebase to support contextual logging, which is part of a broader effort to implement a Kubernetes enhancement proposal for structured logging. The migration process is detailed, involving directory-by-directory changes, and aims to minimize disruptions to other components while ensuring that non-contextual logging is phased out.

   • The comments discuss the coordination and assignment of tasks among contributors, with some contributors expressing interest in working on specific parts of the migration. There is guidance on considering ongoing pull requests and the need for triage acceptance before proceeding. Contributors are encouraged to communicate and update each other on their progress to avoid conflicts and ensure efficient collaboration.
   • Number of comments this week: 9

4. [FG:InPlacePodVerticalScaling] Emit a events when resize status changes: This issue is about implementing event emissions in the Kubelet to aid in debugging in-place pod resizing by reporting various resize status changes, such as when a resize is accepted, infeasible, deferred, completed, or encounters an error. The goal is to enhance the debugging process by providing detailed event logs that reflect the current state of resource resizing within Kubernetes pods.

   • The comments discuss the assignment and interest in the issue, the status of related pull requests, and the urgency due to an upcoming code freeze. There is debate over the usefulness of events for debugging, with some suggesting they could cause issues, while others argue for their necessity. The milestone for the issue has been adjusted between versions 1.32 and 1.33, and there is a suggestion to prioritize the issue differently. Some comments support the addition of specific events, like the resize completed event, to improve user experience and documentation.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

5. NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation cause too many pods scheduled to the same node: This issue addresses a problem with the Kubernetes scheduler plugin, NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation, which assigns different scores to nodes when a pod's resource request is empty, potentially leading to an uneven distribution of pods across nodes. The expected behavior is for the plugin to return a score of zero when a pod request is zero, to prevent too many pods from being scheduled on the same node, which can cause resource contention and inefficiencies.

   • The comments discuss various solutions, including reverting to previous logic, introducing a pod-count-based scoring system, and emphasizing the importance of users setting explicit resource requests for pods. There is a consensus on returning a score of zero for pods with no resource requests to allow other plugins to influence scheduling, while also considering the potential impact on scheduling performance and behavior.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

Issues Opened This Week: 35

Summarized Issues:

• Intermittent "Forbidden" Error in Kubernetes: This issue involves an intermittent "Forbidden" error encountered when running the kubectl get pods command after restarting a master node in a Kubernetes cluster. The error is due to the user lacking necessary permissions to list pods in the specified namespace, potentially caused by incomplete loading or binding of ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding resources during the restart process.
  • issues/130205

• Security Risk of Exposing SELinux Labels: This issue concerns the potential security risk of exposing SELinux labels on Pods through KCM metrics as part of the implementation of KEP 1710. It raises concerns about whether this could inadvertently leak sensitive information when Pods using shared volumes conflict.
  • issues/130215

• Static Analysis for Consistent Tagging in LIST Type Definitions: This issue involves implementing static analysis to ensure consistent tagging of fields in LIST type definitions, such as PersistentVolumeList, within the Kubernetes project. This is to support response streaming as outlined in a specific enhancement proposal.
  • issues/130216

• APIServer Livez Interface Failure: This issue addresses the concern that the livez interface of the APIServer, when used as a static pod, fails and causes the pod to restart due to decreased etcd processing efficiency during high disk I/O usage. It suggests that the livez interface should not check the status of etcd to prevent unnecessary restarts.
  • issues/130229

• Race Condition in API Discovery for CRDs: This issue highlights a race condition in Kubernetes where the API discovery for Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) can temporarily serve data that is inconsistent with the underlying storage. This is due to a lack of synchronization between the crdHandler and DiscoveryController, resulting in mismatched storage versions during CRD updates.
  • issues/130235

• Pod Deletion Issue with SubPath Volumes on Alibaba Cloud: This issue involves a problem with Kubernetes where a Pod using subPath volumes cannot be deleted due to errors in cleaning up subPath mounts. This occurs particularly when the subPath is removed remotely on Alibaba Cloud's object storage, leading to the Pod being stuck in a "Completed" or "Terminating" state.
  • issues/130239

• Failing Test in "kubetest2.Up" for EC2 Conformance: This issue pertains to a failing test in the Kubernetes project, specifically the "kubetest2.Up" test within the "master-informing" job for EC2 conformance.

  • issues/130258

• Pod Not Reclaimed by GC Controller After Job Deletion: This issue describes a bug where a pod created by a Kubernetes job remains in the Completed state and is not reclaimed by the garbage collection (GC) controller after the job is deleted. No related logs are being printed by the GC controller.
  • issues/130261

• Flaking Test in "Kubectl client Simple pod should contain last line of the log": This issue pertains to a flaking test in the Kubernetes project, specifically within the sig-cli group. The "Kubectl client Simple pod should contain last line of the log" test is intermittently failing due to an error related to the creation of an fsnotify watcher, likely caused by exceeding the limit of open files.
  • issues/130262

• Unable to Update spec.revisionHistoryLimit in StatefulSet: This issue highlights a problem where users are unable to update the spec.revisionHistoryLimit field of a StatefulSet (STS) in Kubernetes. Despite expecting such modifications to be allowed, it appears that a previous solution to this issue may have regressed.
  • issues/130263

• Enhancing deferredResponseWriter for Chunked Gzip Encoding: This issue involves enhancing the deferredResponseWriter in the Kubernetes project to support chunked gzip encoding by buffering responses until they reach a specified size threshold or the connection is closed. This enables accurate gzip encoding decisions for multiple write calls, necessary for implementing response streaming as outlined in the related Kubernetes enhancement proposal.
  • issues/130264

• Flaky Test in "Subpath Container restart": This issue pertains to a flaky test in the Kubernetes project, specifically within the sig-storage group. The "Subpath Container restart" test intermittently fails to verify that a container can restart successfully after configmaps are modified, due to a timeout while waiting for the container to restart.
  • issues/130268

• Need for New Mechanism in Kubelet's End-to-End Tests for Private Image Pulls: This issue highlights the need for a new mechanism in Kubelet's end-to-end tests for private image pulls. The current tests rely on hardcoded credentials to a public repository that is being decommissioned, which will cause the tests to fail permanently unless restructured to avoid dependency on external infrastructure.
  • issues/130271

• Ambiguous Error Messages from OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement Plugin: This issue highlights the complexity of debugging due to ambiguous error messages from the OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement plugin in Kubernetes. It suggests that the error message should explicitly include the service account name to clarify which account lacks the necessary permissions, simplifying the debugging process.
  • issues/130275

• Restart Policy for Static Pods Should Always Be "Always": This issue addresses the concern that the restart policy for static pods in Kubernetes should always be set to "always" because other policies are not logical given that the Kubelet does not persistently track the status of static pods. It suggests that the restart policy should be automatically overwritten to "always" when static pods are parsed.
  • issues/130288

• Conflict Between Client-Side and Server-Side Apply Methods: This issue involves a Kubernetes controller using Server-Side Apply (SSA) with force conflicts to manage a Service resource. A user-induced change to the Service was not reverted by the controller due to an API server rejection, highlighting a conflict between client-side and server-side apply methods.
  • issues/130292

• Incorrect Validation for Hugepage Volume Mounts: This issue highlights a problem in Kubernetes where the validation for hugepage volume mounts in containers is incorrectly checking for corresponding hugepage resource requests across all containers in a pod. This leads to potential deployment of non-functional hugepage configurations without visible errors to the user.
  • issues/130296

• Clearml Sessions IP Address Mismatch in Kubernetes: This issue involves a problem with Clearml sessions in a Kubernetes environment where different IP addresses using the same port lead to SSH login mismatches and incorrect routing of requests between LLM inference services. This is potentially due to NodePort handling, which contradicts expected Kubernetes behavior.
  • issues/130299

• CSI Volume Remount Failure on Windows: This issue involves a problem where the CSI volume fails to remount on Windows after the kubelet exits abnormally. This is due to unreliable logic in detecting whether the volume is a mount point, and suggests using a more reliable method as recommended by Windows documentation.
  • issues/130300

• Enhancement to Kubernetes Node API for Additional Metrics: This issue highlights the need for an enhancement to the Kubernetes node API to include additional detailed statistics, such as "steal time" and "iowait," in the output of the "kubectl top node" command. The current command only displays user and system CPU usage, which can be misleading in virtualized environments.
  • issues/130304

• Simplifying the Watch Cache in Kubernetes: This issue proposes simplifying the watch cache in a Kubernetes project by removing the WaitUntilFreshAndGet function and using WaitUntilFreshAndList with store.ListPrefix for non-recursive List and Get operations. The performance differences that originally necessitated separate code paths have been mitigated by the introduction of Btree.
  • issues/130308

• Random Order of Secret Keys in kubectl describe secret: This issue describes a problem where the kubectl describe secret {your-secret} command outputs secret keys in a random order instead of a stable order. This can be reproduced by running the command multiple times and observing the inconsistent order of keys.
  • issues/130310

• Kube-apiserver Bug with --anonymous-auth=false: This issue highlights a problem in Kubernetes version 1.32.2 where the kube-apiserver does not fail to start or deny unauthenticated requests when the --anonymous-auth=false flag is set alongside an AuthenticationConfiguration that enables anonymous access. This indicates a bug that was introduced in a specific commit and later fixed in a subsequent version.
  • issues/130318

• Separating TestPolicyAdmission Integration Test for v1beta1: This issue addresses the need to separate the TestPolicyAdmission integration test for v1beta1 from v1, as the v1beta1 version will be deprecated in Kubernetes 1.34. It requires testing independently with an apiserver configured to emulate version 1.33.
  • issues/130324

• Failure of AWS Scale Tests for Kubernetes: This issue pertains to the failure of AWS scale tests for Kubernetes, specifically the CL2 load tests on AWS. These have been failing since February 18th due to an inability to communicate with the APIServer, resulting in validation errors when attempting to ensure that 5,000 nodes are operational.
  • issues/130327

• removeOldestN Function Fails to Delete Containers: This issue highlights a problem with the removeOldestN function in the Kubernetes project, where it fails to ensure that containers are completely deleted. This leads to errors such as "rpc error: code = Unavailable" and potentially causes the containerd service to panic due to exceeding a 10,000-thread limit.
  • issues/130331

• Adding ExcludedNamespace Filter to Client-Go List API: This issue is about adding an ExcludedNamespace(namespaces []string) filter to the client-go List API in Kubernetes. This allows users to exclude specific namespaces when listing resources, similar to existing functionality, to enhance flexibility in resource querying.
  • issues/130338

• Failing Tests in "Pod InPlace Resize Container" Feature: This issue pertains to failing tests in the Kubernetes e2e suite related to the "Pod InPlace Resize Container" feature.
