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. + +### How to get involved? + +This feature is driven by the SIG Node community.
