Description

Hi,

we are currently using the machine-controller as an addon of Kubeone, in its default configuration.

I was wondering why the CRDs of CAPI (machinedeployments, machinesets, machines) are of the cluster.k8s.io api group and not of the upstream CAPI cluster.x-k8s.io api group? I noticed, that CAPI switched from *k8s.io to *x-k8s.io a while ago.

Are there plans using the same api group as upstream CAPI in future?

For us this is important, because we are thinking of deploying a CAPI in the Kubeone cluster running the machine-controller, therefore we would like to ensure, that no conflicts regarding the CRDs occur.

Research direction

Start by comparing the machine-controller CRDs for machinedeployments, machinesets, and machines with upstream CAPI's cluster.x-k8s.io API group. Determine whether an API-group migration or compatibility decision is required; done means the future API-group plan and conflict behavior are documented.
