  • One-line PR description: This PR updates KEP-5073 to include details about the implementation of DV-only validation and to introduce stability levels for validation tags.
  • Issue link: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/5073
  • Other comments:
    • This change introduces the following to KEP-5073:
      • Tag Stability Levels: Defines Alpha, Beta, and Stable stability levels for declarative validation tags, with clear definitions and guarantees for each level.
      • DV-Only Implementation Strategy: Outlines the strategy for adopting DV-only validations. No DV-Only usage will be permitted in v1.35, which will instead focus on gathering metrics.
      • +k8s:declarativeValidationNative tag: Adds a new field-level tag to assert that a field's validation is handled exclusively by other stable +k8s: validation tags. The validation-gen tool will enforce that only stable tags are used with this marker and will fail if a field with this tag uses an Alpha or Beta validation tag.
      • Graduation Criteria: Updates the graduation criteria for tags to be promoted from one stability level to the next.
