SIG Network 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 Network is responsible for the components, interfaces, and APIs which expose networking capabilities to Kubernetes users and workloads. SIG Network also provides some reference implementations of these APIs, for example kube-proxy as a reference implementation of the Service API.

In scope

The following topics fall under ownership of this SIG:

  • Networking control plane and data paths.
  • Network service abstractions.
  • Service discovery (DNS).
  • Service load balancing (L4, L7).
  • Network security and identity.
  • Cluster connectivity.
  • Cross-cutting concerns such as scalability.
  • Metrics and monitoring associated with networking components.

Code, Binaries and Services

  • Services
    • APIs for defining and grouping networking endpoints.
    • APIs for defining L3/4 loadbalancing.
    • Reference implementation (kube-proxy).
  • Ingress
    • APIs for defining L7 loadbalancing.
  • APIs for defining network policy.
  • Cluster DNS.
  • Integration points with networking implementations (e.g. CNI integration).
  • Container runtime interface (CRI) (With sig-node).
  • Cloud provider network integrations (With sig-cloud-provider).

Cross-cutting and Externally Facing Processes

Out of scope

  • The CNI specification itself, which is maintained outside the Kubernetes project
  • Particular implementations of the CNI specification
  • Particular implementations of the NetworkPolicy API
  • Particular implementations of the Ingress API

Roles and Organization Management

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