SIG Apps Charter

This charter adheres to the conventions described in the Kubernetes Charter README and uses the Roles and Organization Management outlined in sig-governance .

Scope

SIG Apps covers developing, deploying, and operating applications on Kubernetes with a focus on the application developer and application operator experience.

In scope

Code, Binaries and Services

APIs used for running applications (e.g., Workloads API)
Tools and documentation to aid in ecosystem tool interoperability around apps (e.g., Application CRD/Controller)

Cross-cutting and Externally Facing Processes

A discussion platform for solving app development and management problems
Represent the needs and persona of application developers and operators

Out of scope

Code ownership of ecosystem tools. Discussion of the tools is in scope but ownership of them is outside the scope of Kubernetes aside from legacy situations
Do not recommend one way to do things (e.g., picking a template language)
Do not endorse one particular ecosystem tool

Roles and Organization Management

This sig follows adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in sig-governance and opts-in to updates and modifications to sig-governance .

Additional responsibilities of Chairs

Deviations from sig-governance

Generic technical leads are not appropriate for this SIG because sub-projects maintain their processes

Proposing and making decisions MAY be done without the use of KEPs so long as the decision is documented in a linkable medium.

Subproject Creation

SIG Chairs following Technical Leads process defined in sig-governance
