<!-- 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. | ||
|
||
Kubernetes versions are expressed as **x.y.z**, | ||
where **x** is the major version, **y** is the minor version, and **z** is the patch version, following [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) terminology. | ||
|
||
More information in the [version skew policy](/releases/version-skew-policy/) document. | ||

<!-- overview --> | ||
The Kubernetes command-line tool, [kubectl](/docs/reference/kubectl/kubectl/), allows | ||
you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters. | ||
|
||
You can use kubectl to deploy applications, inspect and manage cluster resources, | ||
and view logs. For more information including a complete list of kubectl operations, see the | ||
[`kubectl` reference documentation](/docs/reference/kubectl/). | ||
|
||
kubectl is installable on a variety of Linux platforms, macOS and Windows. | ||

# 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:[email protected]) | ||
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. | ||
