- Ensure you have write access to http://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
- Test your admin access by e.g. adding a label to an issue.
- GitHub https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues and https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pulls: Your job is to be the first responder to all new issues and PRs. If you are not equipped to do this (which is fine!), it is your job to seek guidance!
- All incoming issues should be tagged with the right labels:
- a team label (team/X)
- For issues that overlap teams, you can use multiple team labels
- Current teams and team members also have corresponding github teams, with descriptions
- a priority label (priority/pX) is optional. If not applied the owner of that team will manage priorities.
- if the issue is reporting broken builds, broken e2e tests, or other obvious P0 issues, label the issue with priority/P0 and assign it to someone
- non-P0 issues do not need a reviewer assigned initially
- Support issues should be closed and redirected to Stackoverflow. Example response:
- a team label (team/X)
- All incoming issues should be tagged with the right labels:
Please re-post your question to [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/kubernetes).
We are trying to consolidate the channels to which questions for help/support are posted so that we can improve our efficiency in responding to your requests, and to make it easier for you to find answers to frequently asked questions and how to address common use cases.
We regularly see messages posted in multiple forums, with the full response thread only in one place or, worse, spread across multiple forums. Also, the large volume of support issues on github is making it difficult for us to use issues to identify real bugs.
The Kubernetes team scans stackoverflow on a regular basis, and will try to ensure your questions don't go unanswered.
Before posting a new question, please search stackoverflow for answers to similar questions, and also familiarize yourself with:
* [the user guide](http://kubernetes.io/v1.0/)
* [the troubleshooting guide](http://kubernetes.io/v1.0/docs/troubleshooting.html)
Again, thanks for using Kubernetes.
The Kubernetes Team
* All incoming PRs should be assigned a reviewer.
* unless it is a WIP (Work in Progress), RFC (Request for Comments), or design proposal.
* An auto-assigner [should do this for you] (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/12365/files)
* When in doubt, choose a TL or team maintainer of the most relevant team; they can delegate
* Keep in mind that you can @ mention people in an issue/PR to bring it to their attention without assigning it to them. You can also @ mention github teams, such as @kubernetes/goog-ux or @kubernetes/kubectl
* If you need help triaging an issue or PR, consult with (or assign it to) @brendandburns, @thockin, @bgrant0607, @quinton-hoole, @davidopp, @dchen1107, @lavalamp (all U.S. Pacific Time) or @fgrzadkowski (Central European Time).
* Be fair to the next person in rotation: try to ensure that every issue that gets filed while you are on duty is handled. It's useful to query all PRs/issues without the appropriate labels (using `-label:foo` search filters).
- The merge-bot submit queue (source) should auto-merge all eligible PR's for you once they've passed all the relevant checks mentioned below and all [critical e2e tests] (https://github.com/kubernetes/contrib/blob/master/submit-queue/pod.yaml#L16) are passing. If the merge-bot been disabled for some reason, or tests are failing, you might need to do some manual merging to get things back on track.
- If you are a weekday oncall, ensure that PRs confirming to the following pre-requisites are being merged at a reasonable rate:
- Have been LGTMd
- Pass Travis and Shippable.
- Author has signed CLA if applicable.
- If you are a weekend oncall, never merge PRs manually, instead add the label "lgtm" to the PRs once they have been LGTMd and passed Travis and Shippable; this will cause merge-bot to merge them automatically (or make them easy to find by the next oncall, who will merge them).
- When the build is broken, roll back the PRs responsible ASAP
- When E2E tests are unstable, a "merge freeze" may be instituted. During a merge freeze:
- Who ever a PR is assigned to for review, should only label it "lgtm" but not merge it.
- Oncall should slowly merge LGTMd changes throughout the day while monitoring E2E to ensure stability.
- Ideally the E2E run should be green, but some tests are flaky and can fail randomly (not as a result of a particular change).
- If a large number of tests fail, or tests that normally pass fail, that is an indication that one or more of the PRs in that build might be problematic (and should be reverted).
- Use the Test Results Analyzer to see individual test history over time.
@k8s-oncall will reach the current person on call.
