更新的 “Hitchhiker "指南对 Kubernetes 的评估依赖性 | The Hitchhiker's Guide to Evaluating Dependency Updates to Kubernetes - Arsh Sharma, VMware

本次演讲将讨论在 Kubernetes 这样的大型项目中跟踪依赖关系的重要性，以及“depstat”，这是一个为跟踪 Kubernetes 代码库的依赖关系更新而创建的工具。Kubernetes 存储库每天都会收到许多 pull 请求，其中许多请求会带来依赖关系的变更。大多数时候，维护人员必须手动发现这些更改，确定它们对整个依赖谱的影响，然后 ping 此 pull 请求作者以采取行动。为了避免这种情况并帮助更好地跟踪依赖项更新，创建了 depstat。Depstat 是一个上游项目，用于分析 go 模块支持的项目的依赖关系。它目前作为 Kubernetes 代码库中 prow 作业的一部分运行，并提供四个关键的依赖关系相关指标。“depstat”还提供了通过创建图形直观分析依赖关系的能力。

This talk will be about the importance of tracking dependencies in a large project like Kubernetes and about "depstat" which is a tool created to track dependency updates to the Kubernetes codebase. The Kubernetes repository receives many pull requests each day many of which bring dependency changes with them. Most of the time, the maintainers manually have to spot these changes, determine their effects on the overall dependency tree, and then ping the pull request authors to take action. To avoid this and help better track the dependency updates, depstat was created. depstat is an upstream project which analyzes dependencies for go modules enabled projects. It currently runs as part of a prow job in the Kubernetes code repository and provides four crucial dependency-related metrics. "depstat" also provides the ability to analyze dependencies visually by creating a graph.
