## DISCLAIMER
|
||
|
|
- Sig-Node community has reached a general consensus, as a best practice, to
|
||
|
|
avoid introducing any new checkpointing support. We reached this understanding
|
||
|
|
after struggling with some hard-to-debug issues in the production environments
|
||
|
|
caused by the checkpointing.
|
||
|
|
- Any changes to the checkpointed data structure would be considered incompatible and a component should add its own handling if it needs to ensure backward compatibility of reading old-format checkpoint files.

## Introduction
|
||
|
|
This folder contains a framework & primitives, Checkpointing Manager, which is
|
||
|
|
used by several other Kubelet submodules, `dockershim`, `devicemanager`, `pods`
|
||
|
|
and `cpumanager`, to implement checkpointing at each submodule level. As already
|
||
|
|
explained in above `Disclaimer` section, think twice before introducing any further
|
||
|
|
checkpointing in Kubelet. If still checkpointing is required, then this folder
|
||
|
|
provides the common APIs and the framework for implementing checkpointing.
|
||
|
|
Using same APIs across all the submodules will help maintaining consistency at
|
||
|
|
Kubelet level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below is the history of checkpointing support in Kubelet.
