KARPENTER FIXED, GATEWAY API CONFORMANCE MOVES TO NEW HOME

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes

Karpenter deployment is corrected with infrastructure upgrades while Gateway API conformance images establish new CI pipeline.

Karpenter was deployed incorrectly and is now fixed [1], alongside a broader infrastructure refresh that upgraded to the latest Intel VMs with local SSDs (3 generations forward), eliminated unnecessary bootstrap steps, and applied proper kubelet OOM kill reporting [1]. The Gateway API conformance images migrated to a new repository home at k-sigs/gateway-api-conformance-images, triggering coordinated updates across infrastructure: new Artifact Registry setup [2], prow job bootstrapping [4], and test-infra configuration changes [3] [4]. S390x conformance testing received updates to remove deprecated Boskos configuration from master jobs while adding config-forker and config-rotator support for stable branch expansion [3]. Meanwhile, the SMB CSI driver was promoted to v1.20.3 in the Kubernetes registry [5], and GitHub Actions dependencies received routine security bumps across codeql-action components [6].
