Kubernetes support

[Trebuac]

Hi,
I'm new to nextflow and was interesting by the kubernetes integration. I see in nextflow documentation that k8s support is "experimental" (in executor section and kuberun cli command but not on the dedicated Kubernetes page).
What does this involve ?
Is the feature is stable enough and you planned to release it officially in the next version of nextflow ? Are there any major changes planned ?
Can it be used in a production ready environment ?

Thanks

Clément

Thanks for reporting this, the docs was a bit inconsistent at this regard. The Kubernetes executor and support is considered stable, however in respect to the kuberun command, we realised it has some limitation due to the complex nature of K8 deployment and it cannot support all Nextflow features. it should only be considered as a quick start for evaluation.

The docs should be more clear at this regard now: https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/kubernetes.html#limitation
