# 2021 Annual Report: SIG Windows

## Current initiatives

1. What work did the SIG do this year that should be highlighted?
   - Implemented hostProcess container support in Kubernetes (now in beta) and pomoted adoption in multiple open source communities
     - https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-windows-tools/tree/master/hostprocess - for examples of running flannel, calico, csi-proxy, kube-proxy as hostProcess containers
     - https://github.com/weaveworks/kured/pull/460  - KuReD Windows support
     - https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/pull/864 - node exporter support
   - Defined the `kubectl node logs` command interface.
   - Made the developer UX for windows transparent with sig-windows-dev-tools.
   - Defined windows operational readiness standards.
   - Defined the pod OS field.

2. What initiatives are you working on that aren't being tracked in KEPs?
   - Migration of the windows kube-proxy to KPNG.
   - Migration of testgrid reporting jobs from aks-engine to cluster-api/cluster-api-provder-azure.
   - Dockershim removal / validation for Windows nodes.

## Project health

1. What areas and/or subprojects does your group need the most help with?
   Any areas with 2 or fewer OWNERs? (link to more details)
   - csi-proxy and storage: this seems like an underserved area for windows https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy (meeting info is there).
2. What metrics/community health stats does your group care about and/or measure?
   - stars for ksigs/windows specific repos
     - sig-windows-dev-tools
       - https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-windows-dev-tools -> up to 46, represents interest
     - sig-windows-tools
       - represents people trying to install windows on k8s nodes
     - windows-gmsa
       - represents enterprises integrating windows pods into GMSA
3. Does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] help **new** contributors engage with your group specifically by pointing
   to activities or programs that provide useful context or allow easy participation?
   - yes
4. If your group has special training, requirements for reviewers/approvers, or processes beyond the general [contributor guide],
   does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] document those to help **existing** contributors grow throughout the [contributor ladder]?
   - yes

5. Does the group have contributors from multiple companies/affiliations?
   - yes

6. Are there ways end users/companies can contribute that they currently are not?
   If one of those ways is more full time support, what would they work on and why?
   - testing hostProcess implementations on several windows apps
   - improving our dev tools environment to grow the community
   - hardening the CSI proxy and CSI support ecosystem
   - performance testing Kubernetes on Windows extensively and publishing results in cncf blog posts
