Agenda for the Flatcar Developer Sync on Wednesday, 28th of August 2024, 2:30pm UTC

[tormath1]

In our monthly Flatcar developer syncs maintainers review development / roadmap progress, discuss special projects like OS composability, secure / trusted boot, vendor support, and CNCF incubation status. We provide an overview of ongoing work, give an outlook of future work, and plan the next release.

I will not be able to join the sync. Here's my updates:

• Composable OS: sysext and ClusterAPI:

  • Flatcar template has been added and released in latest Cluster API Linode version: https://github.com/linode/cluster-api-provider-linode/releases/tag/v0.6.0
  • next topic:
    • "promote" the flatcar-sysext template to flatcar template on CAPO

• New vendors / platforms developments:

  • the latest Stable now offers Hetzner, Kubevirt and Scaleway images
  • Hetzner CI support is about to be merged (which means test for Hetzner before each release)
