The following are larger efforts which are now archived and historical. They are no longer active, but are kept in an archived state for posterity and maybe be useful as reference materials.
"Kube Proxy Next Generation (KPNG)" was an effort to evaluate the potential for a new kube-proxy with an emphasis on modularity and adaptability. Through the project we explored alternatives to our historical kube-proxy architecture and gained a lot of community members through interest in it. The project was very large in scope, and was archived in 2024 after agreement that the community was no longer able to continue focus on it, but it remains important prior art for any future attempts to revise kube-proxy.
