Kmesh

Re-design and implement the Kmesh website

• Description: The existing Kmesh website theme struggled to meet existing development needs. Therefore, there is a need to redesign the Kmesh website and replace the theme to make it easier for developers to add documentation. Development instructions for the website are also provided.
• Expected Outcome: The website has more readable documentation, covering user cases, developer courses, etc. And docs about how to develop website.
• Recommended Skills: JS, Kmesh, Html
• Mentor(s): LiZhenCheng9527(@LiZhenCheng9527 , leezhencheng6@gmail.com)

Hi,

I would like to work on this issue as it aligns perfectly with my skillset and interests. I have experience with JavaScript, HTML, and website development, which makes me confident in my ability to handle the tasks involved in this project.

I am eager to contribute to this project, improve the Kmesh website, and ensure it meets the requirements for usability and documentation accessibility. I look forward to any guidance or additional information to get started.

Kmesh

Kmesh eBPF unit test

• Description: As the community features continue to expand, the number of eBPF programs in the data plane has increased. Due to the inherent limitations of eBPF (third-state encoding, neither user space nor kernel space, running in a kernel virtual machine with a dedicated instruction set), Kmesh implements complex governance logic through features like tail call and map-in-map, which poses challenges for data plane quality protection.

eBPF, a recently introduced programmable technology in the kernel, currently has an immature ecosystem. The industry is actively exploring eBPF testing capabilities (e.g., Unit Testing eBPF). This project aims to develop an eBPF UT testing framework in conjunction with the Kmesh project to ensure the quality of the Kmesh data plane.

• Expected Outcome:
  1. Export Kmesh eBPF programs to support UT test case.
  2. Export design documentation for eBPF UT tests
• Recommended Skills: C, eBPF, (go)
• Mentor(s): @bitcoffeeiux (liuxin350@huawei.com)

Kmesh

Add the Kmesh e2e Test

• Description: Kmesh now has an e2e testing framework, but it only covers some of the usage scenarios for key features. More test cases need to be covered to ensure the stability of key features.
• Expected Outcome:
  1. e2e Test Cases
  2. Documentation maintenance for e2e testing
• Recommended Skills: go, Kmesh
• Mentor(s): @YaoZengzeng (yaozengzeng@huawei.com)

Hey @LiZhenCheng9527 ,
I am interested in working on this project as it aligns with my skills and experience. I have a strong background in Go, backend development, and testing, making me confident in contributing to e2e test cases and documentation maintenance for Kmesh.
Please let me know the next steps or if there is a pre-test to proceed further.

Kmesh

Metrics for TCP Long Connection.

• Description: Currently, Kmesh metrics are only reported when a TCP connection is closed. In the case of long connections, it is not possible to know the status before the connection is closed. Therefore, we hope to add the capability to periodically report metrics for long connections.
• Expected Outcome: proposal, code and user guide.
• Recommended Skills: go, c, eBPF
