k8s: Announcing the Checkpoint/Restore Working Group
Jan 21, 2026
Kubernetes has launched the Checkpoint Restore Working Group to advance integration of checkpoint/restore functionality (primarily via the CRIU ecosystem) into Kubernetes. The WG will explore use cases like faster startup, resource optimization for interactive AI workloads, fault-tolerance for long runs, interruption-aware scheduling, live Pod migration, and forensic checkpointing, and invites contributors to join meetings, Slack, and the mailing list.
