New Repository for Container Object Storage Interface implementation

[brahmaroutu]

New Repo, Staging Repo, or migrate existing

new repository

Requested name for new repository

container-object-storage-interface-spec (Container Object Storage Specification)
container-object-storage-interface-csi-adapter (CSI driver to bootstrap COSI workloads)

Which Organization should it reside

kubernetes-sigs

If not a staging repo, who should have admin access

@jsafrane
@msau42
@saad-ali
@xing-yang

If not a staging repo, who should have write access

@saad-ali
@jsafrane
@msau42

@copejon
@wlan0
@brahmaroutu

If not a staging repo, who should be listed as approvers in OWNERS

@xing-yang

If not a staging repo, who should be listed in SECURITY_CONTACTS

What should the repo description be

Kubernetes specific Container Object Storage Interface (COSI) components

What SIG and subproject does this fall under in sigs.yaml

this is a new subproject for sig-storage called kubernetes-cosi

Approvals

Please prove you have followed the appropriate approval process for this new
repo by including links to the relevant approvals (meeting minutes, e-mail
thread, etc.)

Need sig-storage approval from: @saad-ali and @xing-yang

Please refer to KEP: kubernetes/enhancements#1383

Authoritative requirements are here: https://git.k8s.io/community/github-management/kubernetes-repositories.md

tl;dr (but really you should read the linked doc, this may be stale)

• If this is a core repository, then sig-architecture must approve
• If this is a SIG repository, then this must follow the procedure spelled out
  in that SIG's charter

Additional context for request

Since the design mentioned in the KEP constitute multiple components, this issue is requesting for multiple repos under new subproject(Kubernetes-cosi) that belongs to sig-storage.

WRT to

"including links to the relevant approvals (meeting minutes, e-mail

See too #1904

Can you send an email to sig-storage mailing list about this request?
Other than that, this looks good to me.

thanks. I just sent out email about the request.

Suggestions:

• For repo names, spell out container-object-storage-interface rather than using abbreviation COSI
• Align naming with CSI repos where possible, to lower cognitive overhead.
• Start with just the spec and adapter repos, and wait to create the other repos until the architecture is finalized (do we want one sidecar or more? will there be one central controller? what will be the separation of between controllers and sidecars? etc.)
• So:
  • cosi-grpc-interface -> container-object-storage-interface-spec
  • cosi-csi-driver -> container-object-storage-interface-csi-adapter (CSI driver to bootstrap COSI workloads)
  • cosi-controller-> Drop for now
  • cosi-sidecar-controller -> Drop for now

[copejon]

cosi-controller-> Drop for now
cosi-sidecar-controller -> Drop for now

@saad-ali While we haven't hammered out a complete design for automation, it would still be beneficial to have a common space for prototyping. Is this work something we should handle out of band?

[saad-ali]

I guess my concern is are you boxing yourself in by having a single repo called cosi-controller and cosi-sidecar-controller. Are you going to want more then one COSI controller or sidecar in the future (given that CSI has more than one sidecar)?

[copejon]

Fair point, I think we'd be fine then with your suggested repos, with the architecture to follow once the design is settled on:

1. container-object-storage-interface-spec
2. container-object-storage-interface-csi-adapter

[brahmaroutu]

I have updated the issue and I believe this will give us the start we need right now.
Please review and approve @saad-ali
