## What it is
The Kubernetes enhancements tracking repository, home of Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals (KEPs) and umbrella issues for tracking feature work across releases. It is owned by SIG Architecture and serves as the canonical backlog and release-cycle tracking system for Kubernetes enhancements.

## Use cases
- track a Kubernetes feature proposal through the release cycle
- write or submit a KEP for a new Kubernetes enhancement
- check which enhancements are targeted for an upcoming Kubernetes release
- find the status of a feature graduating from alpha to beta or GA
- understand the Kubernetes enhancement process and requirements

## When to choose
- you are contributing a significant feature to Kubernetes and need to file a KEP
- you want to follow or track the status of planned Kubernetes features across releases
- you need the official process, templates, and tooling for Kubernetes enhancement tracking

## When to avoid
- you want the Kubernetes source code or binaries themselves
- you need to file a small bug fix, refactor, or performance tweak that does not qualify as an enhancement
- you are looking for user-facing Kubernetes documentation rather than contributor process

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, workflow-automation
- domain: infrastructure-as-code, developer-tools
