- Summary
The fifth interview in the SIG Architecture Spotlight series features Jordan Liggitt, lead of the API Governance sub‑project. Liggitt, a long‑time Kubernetes contributor since 2014, now heads API Governance and the code‑organization effort for SIG Architecture. The sub‑project’s remit covers all Kubernetes APIs-including command‑line flags, configuration files, binary interfaces, and runtime communication-beyond the well‑known REST API. Its core goal is to maintain stability while allowing evolution, achieved through living guidelines, conventions, and quality gates that apply throughout the change lifecycle. API Governance intervenes at design and implementation stages, ensuring consistent, high‑quality API changes before they enter the release cycle.
