# Node Lifecycle Working Group Explore and improve node and pod lifecycle in Kubernetes. This should result in better node drain/maintenance support and better pod disruption/termination. It should also improve node and pod autoscaling, better application migration and availability, load balancing, de/scheduling, node shutdown, and cloud provider and third-party integrations. The [charter](charter.md) defines the scope and governance of the Node Lifecycle Working Group. ## Stakeholder SIGs * [SIG Apps](/sig-apps) * [SIG Autoscaling](/sig-autoscaling) * [SIG CLI](/sig-cli) * [SIG Cloud Provider](/sig-cloud-provider) * [SIG Cluster Lifecycle](/sig-cluster-lifecycle) * [SIG Network](/sig-network) * [SIG Node](/sig-node) * [SIG Scheduling](/sig-scheduling) * [SIG Storage](/sig-storage) ## Meetings *Joining the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/wg-node-lifecycle) for the group will typically add invites for the following meetings to your calendar.* * WG Node Lifecycle Weekly Meeting: [Mondays at 5PM CET (Central European Time)]() (weekly).
