They are not just feature proposal. It is about

- Feature Design

- Different Alternatives

- Testing plan

Feature LCM = Feature, Deprecation, update. Captured in KEP

What is KEP? KEP-0000 K8s Enhancements Proposals

A unit of work: combined features or single feature or major changes 

Capture decisions in well crafted artifacts 

KEP has YAML based metadata. 

/enhancements/keps

Stages: 

1. Alpha: Disable by default. Enable with Feature Gate

2. Beta: API groups disable by default. Feature is enable.

3. GA: All enables

Demo

Git Issue : 114465 Add Sleep for pod life cycle handler 

Let sleep is first class citizen, so no need to add its binary.

KEP is not hard but time taking. We need to take sign in from different people of community.

Feature = Enhancement = KEP

Non-Goals are very important, so distraction is avoided

Proposal section of KEP has technical part. Then read the code

Then "Design Details" may have pseudo code

"Graduation Criteria" for all 3 stages. 

"Upgrade / Downgrade strategy" 

K8s repo has staging repository. 

SCHEO

/hack/update-codegen.sh will generate auto code

We can have KIND image  with our own k8s code using config.yaml for KIND Also enable Alpha feature flag

KubeAPI Server YAML

Look for post-release blogs for user-firendly docs. Mid-release blogs also. 

Beta to GA then remove feature enable check

KEP also captures all PR
