## Major Themes

Kubernetes is developed by community members whose work is organized into
[Special Interest Groups][]. For the 1.8 release, each SIG provides the
themes that guided their work.

### SIG API Machinery

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.

## Major themes

Kubernetes is developed by community members whose work is organized into
[Special Interest Groups](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-list.md), which provide the themes that guide their work. For the 1.9 release, these themes included:

### API Machinery

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
