<!-- 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](/releases/patch-releases/#support-period). 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.
