+**Authors:** Sergey Kanzhelev (Google), Elana Hashman (Red Hat)
+
+Ensuring the reliability of SIG Node upstream code is a continuous effort
+that takes a lot of behind-the-scenes effort from many contributors.
+There are frequent releases of Kubernetes, base operating systems,
+container runtimes, and test infrastructure that result in a complex matrix that
+requires attention and steady investment to "keep the lights on."
+In May 2020, the Kubernetes node special interest group ("SIG Node") organized a new
+subproject for continuous integration (CI) for node-related code and tests. Since its
+inauguration, the SIG Node CI subproject has run a weekly meeting, and even the full hour
+is often not enough to complete triage of all bugs, test-related PRs and issues, and discuss all
+related ongoing work within the subgroup.
+
+Over the past two years, we've fixed merge-blocking and release-blocking tests, reducing time to merge Kubernetes contributors' pull requests thanks to reduced test flakes. When we started, Node test jobs only passed 42% of the time, and through our efforts, we now ensure a consistent >90% job pass rate. We've closed 144 test failure issues and merged 176 pull requests just in kubernetes/kubernetes. And we've helped subproject participants ascend the Kubernetes contributor ladder, with 3 new org members, 6 new reviewers, and 2 new approvers.
+
+The Node CI subproject is an approachable first stop to help new contributors
+get started with SIG Node. There is a low barrier to entry for new contributors
+to address high-impact bugs and test fixes, although there is a long
+road before contributors can climb the entire contributor ladder:
+it took over a year to establish two new approvers for the group.
+The complexity of all the different components that power Kubernetes nodes
+and its test infrastructure requires a sustained investment over a long period
+for developers to deeply understand the entire system,
+both at high and low levels of detail.
+
+We have several regular contributors at our meetings, however; our reviewers
+and approvers pool is still small. It is our goal to continue to grow
+contributors to ensure a sustainable distribution of work
+that does not just fall to a few key approvers.
+
+It's not always obvious how subprojects within SIGs are formed, operate,
+and work. Each is unique to its sponsoring SIG and tailored to the projects
+that the group is intended to support. As a group that has welcomed many
+first-time SIG Node contributors, we'd like to share some of the details and
+accomplishments over the past two years,
+helping to demystify our inner workings and celebrate the hard work
+of all our dedicated contributors!
+
+## Timeline
+
+***May 2020.*** SIG Node CI group was formed on May 11, 2020, with more than
+[30 volunteers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fb-ugvgdSVIkkuJ388_nhp2pBTy_4HEVg5848Xy7n5U/edit#bookmark=id.vsb8pqnf4gib)
+signed up, to improve SIG Node CI signal and overall observability.
+Victor Pickard focused on getting
+[testgrid jobs](https://testgrid.k8s.io/sig-node) passing
+when Ning Liao suggested forming a group around this effort and came up with
+the [original group charter document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yS-XoUl6GjZdjrwxInEZVHhxxLXlTIX2CeWOARmD8tY/edit#heading=h.te6sgum6s8uf).
+The SIG Node chairs sponsored group creation with Victor as a subproject lead.
+Sergey Kanzhelev joined Victor shortly after as a co-lead.
+
+At the kick-off meeting, we discussed which tests to concentrate on fixing first
+and discussed merge-blocking and release-blocking tests, many of which were failing due
+to infrastructure issues or buggy test code.
+
+The subproject launched weekly hour-long meetings to discuss ongoing work
+discussion and triage.
+
+***June 2020.*** Morgan Bauer, Karan Goel, and Jorge Alarcon Ochoa were
+recognized as reviewers for the SIG Node CI group for their contributions,
+helping significantly with the early stages of the subproject.
+David Porter and Roy Yang also joined the SIG test failures GitHub team.
+
+***August 2020.*** All merge-blocking and release-blocking tests were passing,
+with some flakes. However, only 42% of all SIG Node test jobs were green, as there
+were many flakes and failing tests.
+
+***October 2020.*** Amim Knabben becomes a Kubernetes org member for his
+contributions to the subproject.
+
+***January 2021.*** With healthy presubmit and critical periodic jobs passing,
+the subproject discussed its goal for cleaning up the rest of periodic tests
+and ensuring they passed without flakes.
+
+Elana Hashman joined the subproject, stepping up to help lead it after
+Victor's departure.
+
+***February 2021.*** Artyom Lukianov becomes a Kubernetes org member for his
+contributions to the subproject.
+
+***August 2021.*** After SIG Node successfully ran a [bug scrub](https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-dev/c/w2ghO4ihje0/m/VeEql1LJBAAJ)
+to clean up its bug backlog, the scope of the meeting was extended to
+include bug triage to increase overall reliability, anticipating issues
+before they affect the CI signal.
+
+Subproject leads Elana Hashman and Sergey Kanzhelev are both recognized as
+approvers on all node test code, supported by SIG Node and SIG Testing.
+
+***September 2021.*** After significant deflaking progress with serial tests in
+the 1.22 release spearheaded by Francesco Romani, the subproject set a goal
+for getting the serial job fully passing by the 1.23 release date.
+
+Mike Miranda becomes a Kubernetes org member for his contributions
+to the subproject.
+
+***November 2021.*** Throughout 2021, SIG Node had no merge or
+release-blocking test failures. Many flaky tests from past releases are removed
+from release-blocking dashboards as they had been fully cleaned up.
+
+Danielle Lancashire was recognized as a reviewer for SIG Node's subgroup, test code.
+
+The final node serial tests were completely fixed. The serial tests consist of
+many disruptive and slow tests which tend to be flakey and are hard
+to troubleshoot. By the 1.23 release freeze, the last serial tests were
+fixed and the job was passing without flakes.
+
+[![Slack announcement that Serial tests are green](serial-tests-green.png)](https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/C0BP8PW9G/p1638211041322900)
+
+The 1.23 release got a special shout out for the tests quality and CI signal.
+The SIG Node CI subproject was proud to have helped contribute to such
+a high-quality release, in part due to our efforts in identifying
+and fixing flakes in Node and beyond.
+
+[![Slack shoutout that release was mostly green](release-mostly-green.png)](https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/C92G08FGD/p1637175755023200)
+
+***December 2021.*** An estimated 90% of test jobs were passing at the time of
+the 1.23 release (up from 42% in August 2020).
+
+Dockershim code was removed from Kubernetes. This affected nearly half of SIG Node's
+test jobs and the SIG Node CI subproject reacted quickly and retargeted all the
+tests. SIG Node was the first SIG to complete test migrations off dockershim,
+providing examples for other affected SIGs. The vast majority of new jobs passed
+at the time of introduction without further fixes required. The [effort of
+removing dockershim](https://k8s.io/dockershim)) from Kubernetes is ongoing.
+There are still some wrinkles from the dockershim removal as we uncover more
+dependencies on dockershim, but we plan to stabilize all test jobs
+by the 1.24 release.
