SIG Release Intro
summary
SIG Release runs Kubernetes quarterly releases on an approximate 13-week cadence, coordinating three overlapping release streams, producing schedules, release notes, meeting minutes and exception logs, and escalating meetings to daily during the final two weeks. It codifies formal roles with role shadowing and succession, leans on CI automation and test-signal engineers, and counts 117 contributors in the release repo. Plans for out‑of‑tree cloud providers and LTS policy remain unresolved.
