First, k8s use gengo to generate code.

There are several project in kubernetes/cmd/libs/go2idl, such as go-to-protobuf, client-gen, set-gen,lister-gen.

  1. K8s generate protobuf from go struct by go-to-protobuf. The generate script define in kubernetes/hack/update-generated-protobuf.sh
  2. K8s generate client and util source code by client-gen, set-gen, lister-gen, the generate script define in kubernetes/hack/update-codegen.sh
  3. K8s generate types.generated.go by go/codec, the generate script define in kubernetes/hack/update-codecgen.sh. The type in types.generated.go is for rpc serialization.
