This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.


== Summary ==
Replace Kubernetes 1.28 in rawhide (F40) with v1.29.

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:buckaroogeek| Brad Smith]]
* Email: bradley.g.sm...@gmail.com


== Detailed Description ==
The upstream Kubernetes project just released Kubernetes (K8S) v1.29.
The upstream k8s team maintains 3 versions concurrently. Fedora
provides a target version of Kubernetes with each release. Fedora 38
has k8s v1.26; Fedora 39 has k8s v1.27, and rawhide (F40) currently
has k8s v1.28. If approved this change will replace k8s v1.28 with k8s
v1.29 in rawhide for the F40 release.

See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kubernetes for the current k8s
packages in Fedora.


== Feedback ==
TBD

== Benefit to Fedora ==

Fedora F40 will have the most current Kubernetes version when F40 is
released to production. This will enable Fedora users to deploy and
maintain current Kubernetes on Fedora Server and Fedora CoreOS using
Fedora provided rpms.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Execute communication plan (community blog and mailing list posts)
announcing the change. Test and deploy the update (already available
in COPR).

* Other developers:
Coordinate with the CRI-O packager so that they release a compatible
version of CRI-O. Kubernetes and CRI-O have the same release cycle and
version numbering, i.e kubernetes v1.29 requires cri-0 1.29 (if cri-o
is used as the container runtime interface).

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)

* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)


* Alignment with Community Initiatives:
n/a

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Kubernetes update guidelines do not permit a version skip. For
example, if a Kubernetes cluster is currently using Kubernetes v1.27,
then in order to update to k8s v1.29, first v1.28 needs to be
deployed. Skipping versions, as this proposal does, requires effective
communications and an effective replacement. In this instance,
Kubernetes v1.28 will be available from COPR. There is another change
request in DRAFT form that addresses this problem by shifting to
multiple versioned packages of Kubernetes for each release (i.e. the
package changes from kubernetes-1.29.f40 to kubernetes1.29-1.29.f40
and so on.

The Kubernetes user community is somewhat used to using COPR for past
releases. Kubernetes 1.23 was also skipped in Fedora and only
available in COPR. Kubernetes 1.25 was initially provided in Fedora 37
but moved to COPR when upstream adopted a version of the go language
not available for F37.




== How To Test ==


== User Experience ==
Users managing kubernetes clusters using Fedora packages on Fedora
machines will need to be aware of this change. An unplanned version
update can break a cluster, hence rawhide is the best starting point
for this update.

== Dependencies ==
None.


== Contingency Plan ==


== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)


== Release Notes ==
