This is in order better understand needs, improve on Kubernetes solutions, and share lessons to grow the number of applications running on Kubernetes +* Foster an ecosystem of tools to aid in developing, deploying, and operating applications on Kubernetes +* Be the voice of the people running applications in Kubernetes. This includes providing input on Kuberentes features, suggesting new features, and sharing the perspective of application developers and operators in the development of Kubernetes +* Enable varying workloads (e.g., databases, web services, machine learning) to run on Kubernetes through development of the Workloads API +* Develop subprojects that foster interoperability between tools used to develop, deploy, and operate applications +* Create documentation to enable application developers, application operators, and supporting tool developers to leverage Kubernetes +* Develop and maintain Kubernetes subprojects that aid in the development, deployment, and operation of applications on Kubernetes ### Non-goals @@ -104,7 +94,7 @@ Subprojects must define how releases are performed and milestones are set.
