# K8s semantic conventions stability migration | ||
|
||
Due to the significant number of modifications and the extensive user base | ||
affected by them, existing K8s instrumentations published by | ||
OpenTelemetry are required to implement a migration plan that will assist users in | ||
transitioning to the stable K8s semantic conventions. | ||
|
||
Specifically, when existing K8s instrumentations published by OpenTelemetry are | ||
updated to the stable K8s semantic conventions, they: | ||
|
||
- SHOULD introduce an environment variable `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN` in | ||
their existing major version, which accepts: | ||
- `k8s` - emit the stable k8s conventions, and stop emitting | ||
the old k8s conventions that the instrumentation emitted previously. | ||
- `k8s/dup` - emit both the old and the stable k8s conventions, | ||
allowing for a phased rollout of the stable semantic conventions. | ||
- The default behavior (in the absence of one of these values) is to continue | ||
emitting whatever version of the old k8s conventions the | ||
instrumentation was emitting previously. | ||
- Need to maintain (security patching at a minimum) their existing major version | ||
for at least six months after it starts emitting both sets of conventions. | ||
- May drop the environment variable in their next major version and emit only | ||
the stable k8s conventions. | ||

## Summary of changes | ||
|
||
This section summarizes the changes made to the K8s semantic conventions | ||
from a range of versions. Each starting version shows all the changes required | ||
to bring the conventions to | ||
[v1.TODO (stable)](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/v1.TODO/docs/k8s/README.md). | ||
|
||
### K8s network metrics | ||
|
||
The K8s network metrics implemented by the Collector and specifically the | ||
[kubeletstats](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/v0.112.0/receiver/kubeletstatsreceiver/documentation.md) | ||
receiver were introduced as semantic conventions in [v1.TODO](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/v1.TODO/docs/k8s/README.md). | ||
|
||
The changes in their attributes are the following: | ||
