Hi @PrasadG193, this PR should target dev-1.31. Please follow the steps here to open a PR against dev-1.31 branch in the k/website repo.

[PrasadG193]

@Princesso we don't need changes in the website repo for the enhancement.

Hi @PrasadG193 thanks for the update. I have just gotten confirmation from the release lead, that we need to track this as a doc PR. I'll be following up shortly. Thank you!

Hi @PrasadG193, a gentle reminder that tomorrow is the deadline for having your Docs PR ready for review. Please take a look at Documenting for a release - PR Ready for Review to get your PR ready for review before tomorrow, Tuesday, July 16th, 2024 18:00 PST.

Folks, the feature implementation is not complete yet, so we didn't start on documentation.

Hello @PrasadG193! Thanks for pointing this out.
It's true that Docs PR Ready for Review is usually after Code Freeze. However, the Code Freeze deadline has been moved back for the 1.31 release. See the schedule here: https://www.kubernetes.dev/resources/release/

Docs PR Ready for Review deadline remains yesterday July 16th. This is to allow time before Docs Freeze on Tuesday 30th July 2024, after which will require an exception for this feature to ship with 1.31 if docs aren't merged. Docs Freeze remains July 30th since there is other work needed from then leading up to the release. And SIG Docs and a tech lead will need as much of this time before Docs Freeze as possible to review, give feedback, see iterated changes, then ultimately approve and merge these docs among many others.

Can you make some progress on these docs concurrent to your feature so that we can start the review process? This will move the needle towards quality docs for Kubernetes users. We really appreciate it, thanks!

Hello @PrasadG193👋! I'm reaching out from the Docs team. Just checking in as we approach Docs Freeze on Tuesday July 30th 18:00 PDT. This documentation appears to still be under review. To meet the Docs Freeze, this PR must have a technical review as well as lgtm and approve labels applied, without any unaddressed comments or concerns from SIG Docs. The status of this enhancement is marked as at risk for docs freeze. Thank you!
