Episode notes
A Speedy Lightning Talk
- John Belamaric presented a CoreDNS lightning talk at KubeCon 2016.
- Nervous, he finished his three-minute talk in under one minute.
Working Group Purpose
- Working Groups address cross-SIG Kubernetes issues, often with limited lifespans.
- They're sponsored by multiple SIGs but don't own code; changes revert to sponsoring SIGs.

- Kubernetes 1.32's beta DRA is a revised version addressing these concerns.
