1. What work did the SIG do this year that should be highlighted?
-
-
-
- We started preparation for the Dockershim removal in 1.24. Minikube and kubeadm
maintainers helped with documentation updates, implementing changes and talking
to the cri-dockerd maintainers.
- Cluster API continues on its road to maturity and released its first MAJOR release
(v1.0) of the GitHub repository. The API itself graduated to v1beta1.
- kubeadm continues with some of the efforts to solve technical debt issues
and further stabilize the project. A new API version v1beta3 was released.
- Support for pure IPv6 was added to kOps. The contributions to this area of kOps
resulted in collaboration with the wider ecosystem.
- For more highlights check the "Current initiatives" section of our
[yearly subproject survey](https://forms.gle/xZn8DXww4XxPsXvCA).
2. What initiatives are you working on that aren't being tracked in KEPs?
-
-
-
- SIG Cluster Lifecyle has not added any new KEPs that affect the whole group or the wider Kubernetes.
New KEPs and KEP updates were only done for [kubeadm](https://git.k8s.io/enhancements/keps/sig-cluster-lifecycle/kubeadm),
which is the only subproject that is part of the Kubernetes release artifacts.
Most of the activity in this group happens outside of the KEP process.
Individual projects have implemented their own proposal tracking means, such
as the [Cluster API CAEP process](https://sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api/docs/proposals).
- A general theme across subprojects is driving them to maturity.
With the exception of projects like kubeadm, minikube, kOps and kubespray most of
our other subprojects are fairly new in Kubernetes years.

As noted above, only KEP work for kubeadm was done in 2021.
Some KEPs were retroactively updated to GA, since the work there was done without KEP updates.

## Project health
1. What areas and/or subprojects does your group need the most help with?
Any areas with 2 or fewer OWNERs? (link to more details)
-
-
-
In our survey results we found a few common areas where more help is needed across subprojects:
- Code review
- CI / e2e test monitoring and integration
- Roadmap planning
- Docs authoring and review
All subprojects would appreciate more contributors, but here are a few highlights:
- [etcdadm](https://github.com/kubernetes-etcdadm)
- [cluster-addons](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-addons)
- [cluster-api-provider-gcp](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-gcp)
- [kubeadm](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm)
2. What metrics/community health stats does your group care about and/or measure?
-
-
-
- We started collecting metrics from all of our subprojects using an
[yearly survey](https://forms.gle/xZn8DXww4XxPsXvCA). It contains a number of questions
related to project health, OWNERS files, contributor onboarding, etc. What we saw for this annual
report is that our OWNERS files and SIG README.md are mostly up-to-date and that subprojects are doing
what they can to onboard new contributors. We are considering preparing some actions to better educate
our subprojects about onboarding contributors and graduating more OWNERS.
3. Does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] help **new** contributors engage with your group specifically by pointing
to activities or programs that provide useful context or allow easy participation?
-
- As per the survey, we are seeing a good number of projects to keep their contributing
documentation up-to-date. We are drafting action items for the leads to improve the understanding
around [CONTRIBUTING.md] management. We have a good number of projects that have participated in LFX and GSoC.
4. If your group has special training, requirements for reviewers/approvers, or processes beyond the general [contributor guide],
does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] document those to help **existing** contributors grow throughout the [contributor ladder]?
-
- Our subprojects have implemented their own contributing process and they have their own criteria
for contributors to climb the ladders. We have not seen complains from new or existing
contributors related to contributor guides. The SIG leads are open to help subproject leads with tips
on this topic.
5. Does the group have contributors from multiple companies/affiliations?
-
- Yes, as confirmed by our survey.
6. Are there ways end users/companies can contribute that they currently are not?
If one of those ways is more full time support, what would they work on and why?
-
-
In our survey results we found a few common areas where more help is needed across subprojects:
- Code review
- CI / e2e test monitoring and integration
- Roadmap planning
- Docs authoring and review
These areas seems suitable for both full time and part time contributors.
Replying to user questions on Slack and other communication channels is something
that can be considered as full time support.
Users/companies can reach out to the subproject leads if certain details
are missing in the [CONTRIBUTING.md] file of a subproject.

Include any other ways you measure group membership
We do not count the overall group members because we have
[20 suprojects](https://git.k8s.io/community/sig-cluster-lifecycle#subprojects).
The responsibility of measuring membership is delegated to subproject leads.
