## Kubernetes On-Call Rotations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Kubernetes "first responder" rotations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes has generated a lot of public traffic: email, pull-requests, bugs,
|
|
|
|
|
etc. So much traffic that it's becoming impossible to keep up with it all! This
|
|
|
|
|
is a fantastic problem to have. In order to be sure that SOMEONE, but not
|
|
|
|
|
EVERYONE on the team is paying attention to public traffic, we have instituted
|
|
|
|
|
two "first responder" rotations, listed below. Please read this page before
|
|
|
|
|
proceeding to the pages linked below, which are specific to each rotation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please also read our [notes on OSS collaboration](collab.md), particularly the
|
|
|
|
|
bits about hours. Specifically, each rotation is expected to be active primarily
|
|
|
|
|
during work hours, less so off hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During regular workday work hours of your shift, your primary responsibility is
|
|
|
|
|
to monitor the traffic sources specific to your rotation. You can check traffic
|
|
|
|
|
in the evenings if you feel so inclined, but it is not expected to be as highly
|
|
|
|
|
focused as work hours. For weekends, you should check traffic very occasionally
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. once or twice a day). Again, it is not expected to be as highly focused as
|
|
|
|
|
workdays. It is assumed that over time, everyone will get weekday and weekend
|
|
|
|
|
shifts, so the workload will balance out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you can not serve your shift, and you know this ahead of time, it is your
|
|
|
|
|
responsibility to find someone to cover and to change the rotation. If you have
|
|
|
|
|
an emergency, your responsibilities fall on the primary of the other rotation,
|
|
|
|
|
who acts as your secondary. If you need help to cover all of the tasks, partners
|
|
|
|
|
with oncall rotations (e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
[Redhat](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/rh-oncall)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not on duty you DO NOT need to do these things. You are free to focus
|
|
|
|
|
on "real work".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that Kubernetes will occasionally enter code slush/freeze, prior to
|
|
|
|
|
milestones. When it does, there might be changes in the instructions (assigning
|
|
|
|
|
milestones, for instance).
