etcd benchmark fixed, promo-tools bump breaks the release build

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

A quiet day across the Kubernetes org: the etcd benchmark in perf-tests was repaired, a promo-tools bump forced an import-path migration in release tooling, and the rest is docs translation and dependency churn.

Fix the etcd benchmark kubernetes/perf-tests

by Marek Siarkowicz

Marek Siarkowicz landed a fix for the etcd benchmark in kubernetes/perf-tests, a change tagged /kind bug by its author. Benchmark results off that harness should be re-baselined before they are quoted.

Switch to github.com/policylabs/signer kubernetes/release

by Sascha Grunert

The carabiner-dev/signer module moved to github.com/policylabs/signer, and carabiner-dev/command v0.3.3, pulled in by promo-tools v4.7.1, already uses the new path, which breaks the build under the old import. Kubernetes/release now imports the policylabs path; anything vendoring the old module name will hit the same failure.

Bump sigs.k8s.io/promo-tools/v4 from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1 in the all group kubernetes/release

by dependabot

sigs.k8s.io/promo-tools/v4 goes from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1, a release whose notes lead with verification summaries in Prow jobs. This is the bump that carried the module rename above into the release repo.

by JackLee992

Simplified Chinese localization arrived for the task page Set Bind Mount Options on Volume Mounts, a page new in v1.37 behind the VolumeBindMountOptions feature gate. English content is preserved in HTML comments alongside the translated text.

Merge pull request #57989 from Arhell/uk-case kubernetes/website

by kubernetes-prow[bot]

The Ukrainian site dropped its case studies page. The remaining desk activity is routine: a six-package k8s-dependencies bump in minikube taking k8s.io/api, apimachinery, client-go and friends from 0.37.0 to 0.37.1, and an affiliation correction in kubernetes/community.
