As a newly created SIG, the SIG-ibmcloud has mainly focused on SIG set up, sharing IBM Clouds ongoing Kubernetes work like scalability tests, Kubernetes upgrade strategy etc. with the SIG members and start working on processes to move cloud provider code to a public GitHub repo.

### SIG-instrumentation

No feature work, but a large refactoring of metrics-server as well as a number of bug fixes.

### SIG-node

- [`KT-57966`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-57966) K2: Analysis API: Reference Shortener does not work correctly when called on entire file
- [`KT-60954`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-60954) K2: Analysis API: Reference shortener does not work correctly with variable assignments

specify the complete path in the hostPath volume. Use of subPathmounts nested within atomic writer volumes (configmap, secret, downwardAPI, projected) does not work ([#61545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61545)), and socket files cannot be loaded from a subPath ([#62377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61377)). Work on these issues is ongoing.
