Migrate kubernetes.dev to Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

[chalin]

This issue is part of a CNCF-wide effort to upgrade project websites to GA4 since Google has deprecated Universal Analytics (UA). For more details, see:

• https://github.com/cncf/techdocs/issues/108, including reference to a suggested migration process, which we've used to migrate a few CNCF projects already.

Tasks

• [x] Configure GA4 ID G-JPP6RFM2BP through Netlify snippet injection, "Google Analytics 4 - only in production", just before </head>:

  {% if CONTEXT == 'production' %}
  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-JPP6RFM2BP"></script>
  <script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  
  gtag('config', 'G-JPP6RFM2BP');
  </script>
  {% endif %}

• [x] Confirm that the GA4 site tag is receiving events
• [x] Confirm that the UA site tag is still receiving events

Notes

• Corresponding issue for main site: https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/35299
• Followup: #355

Pre-migration website analytics info

• UA ID: UA-98841695-5 (analytics console)
• Website is build with very old versions of Hugo and Docsy

@jeefy @jberkus @jimangel @onlydole et al.: can one of you either grant me access to this website's Netlify account or add the Netlify snippet shown in the opening comment? Thanks!

[chalin]

Pinging all concerned parties, including @onlydole who had offered to look into this. It's been two months since this issue was created. There has been discussion of granting someone in the CNCF access to Netlify. If that happens shortly, then I'll be able to make the change myself.

[chalin]

~Just chatted with @onlydole out-of-band. Within the next two weeks we'll do a pair-configuring session to complete the tasks for this issue.~

Scratch that, @onlydole doesn't have access to the kubernetes.dev Netlify account.

I can add you and any others - we should move it under the rest of the managed org, I don't remember why it was created separately initially

@divya-mohan0209 is working on cleaning up/adding to the Netlify users list

Hey @nate-double-u , thank you for flagging this.

@mrbobbytables and @chalin if these requests can wait another week, we aim to have the consensus period for everything listed on the issue by Feb 8th. I could add @nate-double-u & @chalin myself once done and also open a k/community PR for listing whoever has owner/collaborator access for future records. Again, I don't want to block any work so if the access is blocking work that has time-based constraints I am absolutely okay with you giving them access.

[chalin]

Thanks @mrbobbytables and @divya-mohan0209 for your responses. Yes, it's been blocking, but it has been so since late fall. So waiting another week is fine with me -- if that keeps things simple.

@mrbobbytables I'll take you up on your offer to grant access. It turns out that @divya-mohan0209 is not authorized to do so (as communicated out-of-band on 02/22).

[mrbobbytables]

@chalin whats your email? I'll add you to the team (can dm it to me in k8s or cncf slack if you don't want it here in github) 👍

[chalin]

Done!
