Kubernetes Future Release Schedule

1/2/2020

I was tasked with finding out if Kubernetes follows a particular release schedule for future releases. I see dates for old releases but don't see anything about following a certain schedule for future releases. If anyone has anything to provide that would be great. Thank you!

SIG release owns the releases.The typical patch release cadence tends to be 3 to 4 weeks. 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

Major/ Minor release happens 4 times in a year. Release timelines of each release can be tracked here.
