title: "Kubernetes 1.29: PodReadyToStartContainersCondition in beta"
date: 2023-11-13

**Author**: Kevin Hannon(Red Hat) zefeng chen


With Kubernetes 1.29 the PodReadyToStartContainersCondition functionality entered beta and is available by default.
A new kubelet-managed pod condition in the status field of a pod. The kubelet will use the PodHasNetwork condition to accurately surface the initialization state of a pod,
From the perspective of pod sandbox creation and network configuration by a container runtime

## Some history

It's previous known as ``PodHasNetwork``. You probably wander why we need a new condition for kubelet. In some cases, metric collection and monitoring services can use the fields associated with the PodReadyToStartContainers condition to report sandbox creation state
and latency either at a per-pod cardinality or aggregate the data based on various properties of the pod: number of volumes, storage class of PVCs, runtime class, custom annotations for CNI and IPAM plugins,
arbitrary labels and annotations on pods, etc.


### What’s next?

Depending on feedback and adoption, the Kubernetes team plans to promote
the `PodReadyToStartContainersCondition` condition to Beta in 1.29.

### How can I learn more?

Please check out the
[documentation](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/) for the
`PodReadyToStartContainersCondition` to learn more about it and how it fits in relation to
other pod conditions.
