Community: SIG Node Charter

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

SIG Node 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 Node is responsible for the components that support the controlled interactions between pods and host resources. We manage the lifecycle of pods that are scheduled to a node. We focus on enabling a broad set of workload types, including workloads with hardware specific or performance sensitive requirements. We maintain isolation boundaries between pods on a node, as well as the pod and the host. We aim to continuously improve node reliability.
