Release tooling gains per-image levels, Kueue CI moves to Go 1.27

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

The dependency churn in kubernetes/release and test-infra is the day's substance: promo-tools 4.8.0 adds required promotion levels per image, and Kueue's main and release-0.20 Prow jobs move to a Go 1.27 toolchain image.

Bump sigs.k8s.io/promo-tools/v4 from 4.7.1 to 4.8.0 kubernetes/release

by dependabot

The bump of sigs.k8s.io/promo-tools/v4 from 4.7.1 to 4.8.0 brings the release notes' headline item: required levels per image, which makes the levels field carry promotion constraints on a per-image basis. That is a change in how promotion policy is expressed, so anything consuming promo-tools output should be checked against the new field semantics rather than treated as a routine patch bump.

kueue: bump golang image to 1.27 for main and release-0.20 jobs kubernetes/test-infra

by vladikkuzn

Kueue's main and release-0.20 Prow jobs move from public.ecr.aws/docker/library/golang:1.26 to golang:1.27, currently go1.27.3, across 56 container images in 4 files. Any test or build behavior that depended on the 1.26 toolchain in those jobs now runs on 1.27.3.

chore: update cluster-api-provider-gcp jobs kubernetes/test-infra

by salasberryfin

The cluster-api-provider-gcp job config drops the older release-1-10 branch, adds release-1-12 and release-1-13, and aligns the Kubernetes version in main jobs with what CAPG main actually supports. Its companion change adds the release-1-13 entries, so CAPG now has three maintained release branches plus main.

[uk] Add storage: ephemeral-storage, ephemeral-volumes kubernetes/website

by themoriarti

The Ukrainian localization adds concepts/storage ephemeral-storage.md and ephemeral-volumes.md, taken from the earlier split and checked against the current English source. The author corrected three cases where "an overall Pod storage limit" had been rendered as a memory limit, plus the filesystem project quota and runtime filesystem tab labels.

Merge pull request #6778 from zac-nixon/add-zac-nixon-k8s kubernetes/org

by kubernetes-prow[bot]

The rest of the day is bookkeeping: a new member added to the kubernetes org, updated sig-scheduling ownership and team aliases, google.golang.org/api bumped from 0.309.0 to 0.310.0, a sigstore-go 1.3.0 to 1.4.0 bump, and four Chinese localization pages covering compositepodgroup lifecycle, workloadbuilder, and PSI metrics.
