@dashpole Hell - Enhancements lead for 1.14 here. I see this issue is targeted for Alpha in 1.14 - is that still planned for? Enhancements freeze is 1/29 and we want all enhancements in 1.14 to have a KEP associated with them.

@claurence I am optimistically hoping for this to land in 1.14. The kep is #650, which I added to the Enhancement Description above.

@dashpole thanks! Are there any open PRs for this issue that should be tracked in our sheet?

[dashpole]

@claurence not at the moment. I'll open the relevant PRs after the KEP is approved.

@dashpole since the KEP for this issue hasn't been merged yet we will be removing it from the 1.14 milestone. To have it added back in please file an exception - information on the exception process can be found here: https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/releases/EXCEPTIONS.md
