Hi all,

It’s that time of year again - prod readiness survey! If you operate clusters, please respond and help us measure how the reliability and production readiness of Kubernetes features is changing over time.

The goal of the SIG Architecture Production Readiness Subproject is to implement review processes and tooling to ensure that features added to Kubernetes are “production ready”. In this context, that means the features are:

- Observable - you can tell that it is in use and working properly, and are able to define reasonable service level objectives for the feature.
- Supportable - the feature is well documented with a playbook covering failure modes, dependencies and what happens when those fail or degrade, and a troubleshooting guide.
- Scalable - the feature does not introduce scaling issues.
- Recoverable - the feature can be disabled or rolled back easily and without data loss

The intent of this survey is to understand how these issues have affected existing Kubernetes users with past versions. This will be used to improve and inform the review process, as well as to measure the effectiveness of this program.

All questions are optional.

Again, the form is here: [https://forms.gle/mabABXgcYdM79dHw5](https://forms.gle/mabABXgcYdM79dHw5)

Thank you for your time,  
Prod Readiness Team
