|
|
|
|
Kubernetes 1.19 and newer receive
|
|
|
|
|
[approximately 1 year of patch support](/releases/patch-releases/#support-period).
|
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes 1.18 and older received approximately 9 months of patch support.

where **x** is the major version, **y** is the minor version, and **z** is the patch version,
