KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan 2025

These are exciting times for Kubernetes SIG Node. Come to our maintainers‘ track session to learn about the just released version 1.34 of Kubernetes, full of exciting improvements, and get a glance into the SIG Node roadmap. SIG Node owns components that control interactions between pods and host resources, including the Kubelet, Container Runtime Interface (CRI), and Node API. SIG Node is responsible for the Pod’s lifecycle from allocation to teardown, to liveness checks and shared resource management. We work with the various container runtimes, kernels, networking, storage, and more; anything a pod touches is SIG Node’s responsibility!

We will make a deep dive into the area of pod lifecycle starting with developments like evented PLEG as well as well established things like probes and handling the resource management when pod scaling.

Join this session to learn more about our SIG, and how you might get involved to make Node even better!
