Here are some of the topics that we discussed:

  • Documentation: is still top of the list. We need to align the current README.md files to AsciiDoc so it can be aggregated with all the other Spring Cloud Projects. Testing, we discussed about Arquillian Cube and how we can use it to improve the test coverage.
  • Examples: we are still trying to find out what is the best way to link to more complex examples that people can see and run in their own clusters/MiniKube/microk8s
  • Roadmap and deadlines: the 15th of November there is a planned milestone for the Spring Cloud Greenwich release. We are going to review how much bug fixes and features can be included in that milestone. As a parallel discussion we also discussed about releases for the 0.2.x branch which is Spring Boot 1.5.x based.
  • The Kubernetes Service Catalog integration was discussed as well (Connector vs AutoConfiguration approaches).
  • Istio Awareness was discussed as well, and it is becoming clear where the starting points will be.

For next week, we will focus on triaging issues that are already reported to the different milestones and see what is the order of priority for those issues.

Documentation alignment to AsciiDoc

  • Testing done against real clusters (microk8s.io, GKE, Openshift, alternatives)
    • For PR validation
    • For Integration Testing
  • Examples to facilitate adoption (similar to S1P demo)

We also discussed about some future items that we will need to work on (based on https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes/issues ):

  • Distributed Timers using Kubernetes CronJobs and @Scheduled -> @salaboy will take the lead on this one
  • Kubernetes Service Catalog Integration
  • Spring Cloud Istio Awareness and Istio Services Client APIs review and adoption
