Utils is a set of golang libraries that are not specific to Kubernetes. They should be available and useful to any other Go project out there.
The Kubernetes project uses a lot of Golang patterns that are re-used in many difference places, and as the project is further split into different repositories, this repository is the perfect place to hold this common code.
Go libraries in this repository must be:
- Generic enough that they are useful for external/non-kubernetes projects,
- Well factored, well tested and reliable,
- Be completely go compliant (go get/build/test/etc)
- Have enough complexity to be shared,
- Have stable APIs, or backward compatible.
The goal is to keep libraries organized in logical entities.
- Exec provides an interface for
os/exec. It makes it easier to mock and replace in tests, especially with the FakeExec struct.
