cloud-provider

This repository defines the cloud-provider interface and mechanism to initialize a cloud-provider implementation into Kubernetes. Currently multiple processes use this code although the intent is that it will eventually only be cloud controller manager.

Note: go-get or vendor this package as k8s.io/cloud-provider.

Purpose

This library is a shared dependency for processes which need to be able to integrate with cloud-provider specific functionality.

Compatibility

Cloud Providers are expected to keep the HEAD of their implementations in sync with the HEAD of this repository.

Where does it come from?

cloud-provider is synced from https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/staging/src/k8s.io/cloud-provider. Code changes are made in that location, merged into k8s.io/kubernetes and later synced here.

Things you should NOT do

1. Add an cloud provider specific code to this repo.
2. Directly modify anything under vendor/k8s.io/cloud-provider in this repo. Those are driven from k8s.io/kubernetes/staging/src/k8s.io/cloud-provider.
3. Make interface changes without first discussing them with sig-cloudprovider.
