[Kubeflow 1.10] Distributions and Kubeflow

[rimolive]

This issue will be used to track the progress of and coordinate with distributions along the 1.10 release.

While we hope all distros will manage to be ready when the KF 1.10 release is out, this is sometimes difficult to achieve. In this issue, we want to both keep track of the progress of distributions towards the KF 1.10 release and also know which of the distros will be working on KF 1.10 (testing during the distribution testing cycle) even if they can't meet the KF 1.10 deadline.

Tagging distribution owners identified from previous releases (Any new or missed distro owners, please comment on this issue)

Distribution	Representative(s)	State
Charmed Kubeflow	@mvlassis	Will participate in 1.10

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure	@julioo
DeployKF	@thesuperzapper	Will participate in 1.10
VMWare	@liuqi @xujinheng

Please let us know if you'll be participating in the 1.10 release by answering the following questions:

• Are you planning on having your distro ready in sync with the KF 1.10 release?
• Will you participate by testing your distro during the distribution testing phase and providing feedback (reporting any issues to the release team)?
• If you cannot participate, when can the community expect your distro to be ready for release 1.10?

Please note the release timelines are being discussed in #761.

1. deployKF plans to release a GA version that includes the 1.10 versions within a reasonable timeframe of the manifest release.

   • There may also be a deployKF RC version released before the final 1.10.0 is cut, depending on how stable everything is.

2. As usual, I will also give feedback on the manifests RCs.

3. See above

@rimolive @jbottum I'm following up on the distributions - any news on this?

[rimolive]

Calling all Distribution owners! We are planning to release rc.2 next Monday March 3rd, and we'll officially begin the distribution testing. One concern raised is that our schedule to release GA is March 31st, and the deadline for distribution testing is very tight.

We'd like to gather more feedback about this concern from the other distributions so we can plan a new release date. I really appreciate any feedback so we can decide on keep the original schedule or delay the release date.

[juliusvonkohout]

You can test on the 1.10 branch and https://github.com/kubeflow/manifests/milestone/1 is the milestone with current issues. kubeflow/pipelines#11669 is also quite relevant.

I'm ok with your timing. As long as we don't run into issues testing should be done within those timelines.
