What would you like to be added:
We don't have a single place to point to regarding which
cluster:
you should use and why, and how much resources to use (and how to avoid pointlessly scheduling minuscule amounts of memory per CPU core, which ultimately costs us more when workloads prefer more CPU time to allocating and memory sits unused).We should do this per-cluster and create a doc somewhere discoverable, perhaps under
config/jobs
.We should also consider adding details like:
Why is this needed:
So contributors can understand the Kubernetes specific CI environment and how to effectively schedule to it / write prow.k8s.io specific jobs.
/sig testing k8s-infra

These are really not discoverable:

Along with "what is the trusted cluster" etc.
We should also deprecate out the eks-job-migration doc and associated job report results, and we should consider how to balance scheduling to EKS/GKE more generally now that the budgets are similar and all the workloads are running in community accounts. (And also how to approach Azure with the much smaller budget ...)
