Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals (KEPs) are pivotal in proposing, communicating, and coordinating new efforts within the Kubernetes project. As members of the Release Team (the team responsible for releasing the next version of Kubernetes) especially Enhancements Team under SIG-Release, we play a vital role in maintaining the active status of enhancements and facilitating communication between stakeholders, be it a deprecation or a feature update. In this talk, we look at the KEP lifecycle from the perspective of the release team, exploring the process (enhancements freeze, code freeze, and the exception process), major themes, and more. Additionally, we will discuss the developer's viewpoint on KEPs, highlighting the process, deadlines, and best practices for proposing, reviewing, and implementing KEPs effectively. Join us to know how KEPs drive innovation and collaboration within the Kubernetes community, empowering contributors to shape the future of Kubernetes development.

Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals（KEPs）在Kubernetes项目中提出、沟通和协调新工作方面起着关键作用。 作为发布团队的成员（负责发布下一个版本的Kubernetes的团队），特别是在SIG-Release下的Enhancements团队，我们在维护增强功能的活跃状态和促进利益相关者之间的沟通方面发挥着重要作用，无论是废弃还是功能更新。 在这次演讲中，我们将从发布团队的角度看待KEP的生命周期，探讨过程（增强功能冻结、代码冻结和异常处理过程）、主要主题等。此外，我们还将讨论开发人员对KEP的观点，重点介绍提出、审查和有效实施KEP的过程、截止日期和最佳实践。 加入我们，了解KEP如何推动Kubernetes社区内的创新和协作，赋予贡献者塑造Kubernetes开发未来的能力。
