Add a SIG Architecture Spotlight article

[fsmunoz]

We have a "Spotlight on..." series to make the work of SIGs better known to contributors. SIG Architecture is not yet covered, and it would be great to have.

This issue is to track this idea, hopefully being closed by the PR with article.

@fsmunoz: The label(s) /label sig/contributor-experience cannot be applied. These labels are supported: api-review, tide/merge-method-merge, tide/merge-method-rebase, tide/merge-method-squash, team/katacoda, refactor. Is this label configured under labels -> additional_labels or labels -> restricted_labels in plugin.yaml?

In response to this:

/label sig/contributor-experience

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

@dims @derekwaynecarr @johnbelamaric , as discussed in Slack, creating this to make it easier for you to track, hopefully close it soon-ish :)

Refactoring into a series of sub-project articles; depending on the amount of answers it could be 1 or multiple articles. Sub project leads contacted and some initial questions done.

[fsmunoz]

All sub-projects were contacted and interview docs were shared. Collecting answers.

Update on current content - a checkmark indicates that there are answers, not that it's ready for publishing.

• Enhancements (@kikisdeliveryservice )
• Conformance (@Riaankl )
• Production Readiness (@wojtek-t )
• API Governance (@liggitt)
• Code organisation (@MadhavJivrajani , link to document only shared by me recently)

[fsmunoz]

Moving forward with Conformance first, hackmd version done and being reviewed with author. Production Readiness next, and by then the others have recently confirmed ETAs that will fit in the sequence.

Conformance PR opened #431

Conformance blog published.

Hopefully the Enhancements article will be published soon, and we are left with the final one.

@fsmunoz not sure where this stand. If SIG Arch content is needed it would be worth mentioning that the K8s Conformance subproject completed the work on covering all Conformance test technical debt and the last PR for the last tech debt was merge at K8s Contributor summit last month.

[fsmunoz]

@riaankleinhans , this is an umbrella issue for the SIG Architecture series, which is currently done in terms of interviews:

• Enhancements (@kikisdeliveryservice )
• Conformance (@Riaankl )
• Production Readiness (@wojtek-t )
• API Governance (@liggitt)
• Code organisation (@MadhavJivrajani , link to document only shared by me recently)

SIG Enhancements has a PR #526 which is only lacking review for publication, and SIG API Governance is being transcribed from video.

In terms of SIG Conformance, I think this would be an interesting separate thing: what it means, why it is important, why it started, what are the benefits, we could add images from KubeCon NA where the merge was done, etc. If you think this is a good idea, I'll open a separate issue and start working on the questions :)

[riaankleinhans]

Great. Sound like a 2025 thing. Happy to help. Just let me know when.
