KServe roadmap for KF 1.9

[rimolive]

Hello @pvaneck @yuzisun

The 1.9 release team will use this tracking issue to coordinate the integration of the KServe with the Kubeflow 1.9 release.

Heads up that the feature freeze is scheduled for April 15th (needs confirmation). For the full release schedule, refer to the 1.9 release timeline.

(note: links are pending kubeflow/community#687 and kubeflow/community#690)

To prepare for the 1.9 release, please provide answers to the following questions:

1. What version of KServe would you like to include for the 1.9 release?
2. Could you provide a branch/tag for this version? (note: It doesn't have to be final)
3. Can you share a link to all open / work in progress issues that you're expecting to include in the 1.9?
4. If you're using the following dependencies, could you provide the versions you'll be supporting for each dependency?

• Knative
• Istio
• Kubernetes
• Cert-Manager
• Kustomize

The release team WG liaison for KServe WG will be @ca-scribner and you can keep track of high-level release updates in the 1.9 tracking issue.

@yuzisun our plan is support k8s 1.29 as the target release but will work on testing on 1.27 and 1.28. We're planning to update to Istio 1.20.

Please consider this issue when building KServe.

@yuzisun i wanted to upgrade to 0.11.2 first, but some stuff is missing from the docker.io OCI registry.
i cannot se the tag 0.11.2 in https://hub.docker.com/r/kserve/models-web-app/tags

So we are blocked from upgrading in #2616

@yuzisun or can you upgrade kserve for us and take over #2616 ?

#2433 is also problematic
