Hi Friedrich, thanks for the heads-up, actually we were considering skipping today's shore leave due to absences. However, let's use the slot to discuss your concerns, since I also feel that the current situation is less than ideal. Best regards Steve On 11.09.26 10:16, Friedrich Zahn via Tarook wrote:
Hi everyone,
I would like to give you a heads-up that I would like to join today's shore leave to discuss a potential transition of ch-k8s-lbaas into ALASCA, specifically as part of Tarook. Please let me know if the meeting happens to not take place today or if there is no room on the agenda, it's not too urgent.
For everyone not familiar with the topic, some background: ch-k8s-lbaas[0] is used by Tarook to provide a quick and simple solution for ingress traffic, and advertised as a regular, stable feature[1].
Unfortunately, the code base provenance is currently rather confusing, there are 3 repos/forks (partially diverged) on GitHub/GitLab and 2 registries serving images with no clear relationship between each other. Tarook itself is using a mix of upstream sources, GitLab.com for images and GitHub for binary artifacts. Finally, a PR[2] I opened in April has not yet seen any maintainer reaction, which I take as symptomatic for a general lack of upstream activity, the last commit to main and release happened more than 2 years ago.
To ensure ALASCA's claim of delivering stable and operational solutions we would like to see this tool under reliable governance, the FOCIS team is happy to help with the transition efforts if the Tarook team decides to proceed along that path.
Best regards, Friedrich
