| 1 | +# 2021 WG Multitenancy Annual Report |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +### What was the initial mission of the group and if it's changed, how? |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +**Initial Mission:** |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Define the models of multitenancy that Kubernetes will support. Discuss and execute upon any |
| 8 | +remaining work that needs to be done to support these models. Create conformance tests that |
| 9 | +will prove that these models can be built and used in production environments. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +**Current Mission:** |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +We are focusing more on projects using Kubernetes than trying to directly change the API machinery, |
| 14 | +which is a huge and potentially intractable problem. We are continuing to work on conformance |
| 15 | +testing as part of one of our projects. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### What’s the current roadmap until completion? |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +**We have three projects we are incubating:** |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +* Multi-Tenancy Benchmarks https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/multi-tenancy/tree/master/benchmarks |
| 22 | +* Virtual Cluster Project https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/multi-tenancy/tree/master/incubator/virtualcluster |
| 23 | +* Hierarchical Namespace Controller https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/multi-tenancy/tree/master/incubator/hnc |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +These are all in active development, and we’re making good progress. Google Cloud has adopted HNC in beta. |
| 26 | +MTB is going to be a great platform for the conformance test suite expansion. Virtual Cluster Project is |
| 27 | +graduating out of our incubator and into its own repo! HNC will probably follow soon. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +The roadmap is documented in the [working group project plan](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U8RQQmTUjxgMZY05HG2f7b3KsB94BhK4Ko6aWbLNXcc/edit). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### Have you produced any artifacts, reports, white papers to date? |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +You can find a bunch of our docs here: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/multi-tenancy/tree/master/docs |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Is the group active? healthy? contributors from multiple companies and/or end user companies? |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Yes, it’s one of the most egalitarian working groups I’ve seen. We have active contributors and participants |
| 38 | +from all over the industry, and a lot of drive bys from consumers of Kubernetes who are just trying to |
| 39 | +configure clusters for multi-tenancy and have questions. Our incubating projects are led by people from |
| 40 | +Google, Nirmata, Alibaba, and Medtronic, have reviewers and participants from other companies, and the WG chairs work at VMware and Cisco. |
| 41 | +We have a very diverse group of presenters from different companies who are all trying to solve the same problems, and we all have |
| 42 | +the philosophy of learning from each other and sharing. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Is everything in your readme accurate? posting meetings on youtube? |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Yes and Yes. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### Do you have regular check-ins with your sponsoring SIGs? |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +We have a huge number of sponsoring SIGs, many of them send representatives to meetings on an adhoc basis. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### Links to the last two community meeting updates the group has given and notable highlights you’d like to share from those. |
