<!-- overview --> | ||||||

The Kubernetes project maintains release branches for the most recent three minor releases ({{< skew latestVersion >}}, {{< skew prevMinorVersion >}}, {{< skew oldestMinorVersion >}}). Kubernetes 1.19 and newer receive approximately 1 year of patch support. Kubernetes 1.18 and older received approximately 9 months of patch support. | ||||||

I stole that overview from "https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/release/version-skew-policy/" because I thought it was helpful (although recognized duplication). The version skew policy page has been relocated to this new menu and I've added redirects from the old location. I'm open to any alternative suggestions for the main overview!

where **x** is the major version, **y** is the minor version, and **z** is the patch version, following [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) terminology. | ||||||

This is somewhat of a "hack" to have Hugo look at /layouts/docs/ for it's templates. It allows me to use the same "Docs" 3-bar theme for a handful of release docs.

# Kubernetes Patch Releases | ||
|
||
Schedule and team contact information for Kubernetes patch releases. | ||
|
||
For general information about Kubernetes release cycle, see the | ||
[release process description]. | ||
|
||
## Cadence | ||
|
||
Our typical patch release cadence is monthly. It is | ||
commonly a bit faster (1 to 2 weeks) for the earliest patch releases | ||
after a 1.X minor release. Critical bug fixes may cause a more | ||
immediate release outside of the normal cadence. We also aim to not make | ||
releases during major holiday periods. | ||
|
||
## Contact | ||
|
||
See the [Release Managers page][release-managers] for full contact details on the Patch Release Team. | ||
|
||
Please give us a business day to respond - we may be in a different timezone! | ||
|
||
In between releases the team is looking at incoming cherry-pick | ||
requests on a weekly basis. The team will get in touch with | ||
submitters via GitHub PR, SIG channels in Slack, and direct messages | ||
in Slack and [email](mailto:release-managers-private@kubernetes.io) | ||
if there are questions on the PR. | ||
|
||
## Cherry-Picks | ||
|
||
Please follow the [cherry-pick process]. | ||
|
||
Cherry-picks must be merge-ready in GitHub with proper labels (eg: | ||
approved, lgtm, release note) and passing CI tests ahead of the | ||
cherry-pick deadline. This is typically two days before the target | ||
release, but may be more. Earlier PR readiness is better, as we | ||
need time to get CI signal after merging your cherry-picks ahead | ||
of the actual release. | ||
|
||
Cherry-pick PRs which miss merge criteria will be carried over and tracked | ||
for the next patch release. | ||
|
||
## Support Period | ||
|
||
In accordance with the [yearly support KEP][yearly-support], the Kubernetes | ||
Community will support active patch release series for a period of roughly | ||
fourteen (14) months. | ||
|
||
The first twelve months of this timeframe will be considered the standard | ||
period. | ||
|
||
Towards the end of the twelve month, the following will happen: | ||
|
||
- [Release Managers][release-managers] will cut a release | ||
- The patch release series will enter maintenance mode | ||
|
||
During the two-month maintenance mode period, Release Managers may cut | ||
additional maintenance releases to resolve: | ||
|
||
- CVEs (under the advisement of the Product Security Committee) | ||
- dependency issues (including base image updates) | ||
- critical core component issues | ||
|
||
At the end of the two-month maintenance mode period, the patch release series | ||
will be considered EOL (end of life) and cherry picks to the associated branch | ||
are to be closed soon afterwards. | ||
|
||
Note that the 28th of the month was chosen for maintenance mode and EOL target | ||
dates for simplicity (every month has it). | ||
|
||
## Upcoming Monthly Releases | ||
|
||
Timelines may vary with the severity of bug fixes, but for easier planning we | ||
will target the following monthly release points. Unplanned, critical | ||
releases may also occur in between these. | ||

@jimangel . I am reading through the changes.
My first reaction is that this is a largish list of approvers/reviewers to add to the docs repository.
Why is this needed/for what purpose?

I appreciate the concern! Adding them to the
OWNERS_ALIASES
doesn't give them the level of authority the name implies. We could change that, but I copied it as is fromgit.k8s.io/release/OWNERS_ALIASES
. The groups are used to reference approvers & reviewers in their respective release sub folders (via subOWNERS
file).The release data that is being used by SIG Docs is owned by SIG Release. We'd like to have them store date in our repo for generation purposes. In order to do that efficiently, it made sense to grant SIG Release folks access to their respective sub directories.
We could also demo this MVP with a smaller list to start if you'd be more comfortable! Let me know if that helps. It's also possible I messed up my understandings of OWNERS files 😅
