What is this PR about? / Why do we need it?
Performing all dependency upgrades during the release process leads to delays when a certain upgrade contains breaking changes. Let's decrease the chance of release delays by spreading most of these updates out before we start a release, and automate that work with GitHub's Dependabot. Even better, dependabot cleanly shows release notes, changelogs, and even commits for each dependency it is upgrading in its PR.
See the new
docs/updating-dependencies.mdfor an introduction to Dependabot and our project dependencies.Let's start with a weekly cadence. If we find that too many dependencies occur in same PR such that troubleshooting breaking changes becomes challenging, we can switch to daily cadence (Dependabot will ensure only 1 PR per group is up at a time). I chose Wednesday mornings because it is after Windows patch Tuesdays.
I chose Dependabot over some other tool like Renovate because most other K8s projects use Dependabot, it requires no self-hosting because it is built-in to GH, and we don't need Renovate's custom configuration options today.
I will update our internal runbook after this merges.
What testing is done?
