KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025

This session covers the latest updates in the Kubernetes Node subsystem. SIG Node owns components like Kubelet, Container Runtime Interface (CRI), Node API. SIG Node is responsible for Pod lifecycle from allocation to teardown, shared (“classic”) resource management, topology alignment and device access via device plugins. SIG Node is also a major contributor of the Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) which is becoming the bedrock of the new generation or resource management. We work with container runtimes, kernels, networking, storage, and more; anything between the pod and the underlying hardware that runs them is in SIG Node’s purview!

The session will be interesting for end users, seasoned contributors, and people seeking to get involved. Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding of the latest developments like DRA, PSI, pod level resources, in-place VPA and more, as well as understand the roadmap in these days of AI/ML and other workloads adoption.
