Hello @ahmedtd 👋, Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on 02:00 UTC Friday 11th October 2024 / 19:00 PDT Thursday 10th October 2024.

This enhancement is targeting for stage alpha for v1.32 (correct me, if otherwise).

Here's where this enhancement currently stands:

• [x] KEP readme using the latest template has been merged into the k/enhancements repo.
• [x] KEP status is marked as implementable for latest-milestone: v1.32.
• [ ] KEP readme has up-to-date graduation criteria
• [ ] KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements. (For more information on the PRR process, check here). If your production readiness review is not completed yet, please make sure to fill the production readiness questionnaire in your KEP by the PRR Freeze deadline on Thursday, October 3rd, 2024 so that the PRR team has enough time to review your KEP.

For this KEP, we would just need to update the following:

• [ ] KEP readme has up-to-date graduation criteria
• [ ] KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements.

The status of this enhancement is marked as at risk for enhancement freeze. Please keep the issue description up-to-date with appropriate stages as well.

If you anticipate missing enhancements freeze, you can file an exception request in advance. Thank you!

@impact-maker #4318 is merged.

[ahmedtd]

@impact-maker I believe both missing items are now complete. PRR and graduation criteria were part of #4318

Hi @ahmedtd :wave:, I'm James Spurin, a 1.32 Docs Shadow. Great to meet you again.

Does this enhancement work planned for 1.32 require any new docs or modifications to the existing docs?

If so, please follows the steps here to open a PR against dev-1.32 branch in the k/website repo. This PR can be just a placeholder at this time and must be created before Thursday October 24th 2024 18:00 PDT.

Also, take a look at Documenting for a release to familiarise with the docs requirement for the release.

Thank you!

Hi @ahmedtd 👋 -- this is Ryota (@rytswd) from the v1.32 Communications Team!

For the v1.32 release, we are currently in the process of collecting and curating a list of potential feature blogs, and we'd love for you to consider writing one for your enhancement!

As you may be aware, feature blogs are a great way to communicate to users about features which fall into (but not limited to) the following categories:

• This introduces some breaking change(s)
• This has significant impacts and/or implications to users
• ...Or this is a long-awaited feature, which would go a long way to cover the journey more in detail 🎉

To opt in to write a feature blog, could you please let us know and open a "Feature Blog placeholder PR" (which can be only a skeleton at first) against the website repository by Wednesday, 30th Oct 2024? For more information about writing a blog, please find the blog contribution guidelines 📚

[!Tip] Some timeline to keep in mind:

• 02:00 UTC Wednesday, 30th Oct: Feature blog PR freeze
• Monday, 25th Nov: Feature blogs ready for review
• You can find more in the release document

[!Note] In your placeholder PR, use XX characters for the blog date in the front matter and file name. We will work with you on updating the PR with the publication date once we have a final number of feature blogs for this release.
