Deep dives

Overview of Working Groups

Working groups in Kubernetes are collaborative efforts formed to address specific challenges that span across various special interest groups (SIGs). Unlike SIGs that focus on managing specific components of Kubernetes code, working groups aim to tackle broader problems that require participation from multiple SIGs. For example, the Working Group on Device Management was created to facilitate dynamic resource allocation, enabling Kubernetes to better manage hardware accelerators like GPUs. This structure allows for short-term, focused efforts that can dissolve once the goals are achieved, while ensuring that the resulting features are integrated back into the appropriate SIGs.
