## Handbooks
**NOTE: The Patch Release Team and Branch Manager handbooks will be de-duplicated at a later date.**
- [Patch Release Team][handbook-patch-release]
- [Branch Managers][handbook-branch-mgmt]
- [Build Admins][handbook-packaging]
## Release Managers
**Note:** The documentation might refer to the Patch Release Team and the
Branch Management role. Those two roles were consolidated into the
Release Managers role.
Minimum requirements for Release Managers and Release Manager Associates are:
- Familiarity with basic Unix commands and able to debug shell scripts.
- Familiarity with branched source code workflows via `git` and associated
`git` command line invocations.
- General knowledge of Google Cloud (Cloud Build and Cloud Storage).
- Open to seeking help and communicating clearly.
- Kubernetes Community [membership][community-membership]
Release Managers are responsible for:
- Coordinating and cutting Kubernetes releases:
- Patch releases (`x.y.z`, where `z` > 0)
- Minor releases (`x.y.z`, where `z` = 0)
- Pre-releases (alpha, beta, and release candidates)
- Working with the [Release Team][release-team] through each
release cycle
- Setting the [schedule and cadence for patch releases][patches]
- Maintaining the release branches:
- Reviewing cherry picks
- Ensuring the release branch stays healthy and that no unintended patch
gets merged
- Mentoring the [Release Manager Associates](#associates) group
- Actively developing features and maintaining the code in k/release
- Supporting Release Manager Associates and contributors through actively
participating in the Buddy program
- Check in monthly with Associates and delegate tasks, empower them to cut
releases, and mentor
- Being available to support Associates in onboarding new contributors e.g.,
answering questions and suggesting appropriate work for them to do
This team at times works in close conjunction with the
[Product Security Committee][psc] and therefore should abide by the guidelines
set forth in the [Security Release Process][security-release-process].

### Becoming a Release Manager
To become a Release Manager, one must first serve as a Release Manager
Associate. Associates graduate to Release Manager by actively working on
releases over several cycles and:
- demonstrating the willingness to lead
- tag-teaming with Release Managers on patches, to eventually cut a release
independently
- because releases have a limiting function, we also consider substantial
contributions to image promotion and other core Release Engineering tasks
- questioning how Associates work, suggesting improvements, gathering feedback,
and driving change
- being reliable and responsive
- leaning into advanced work that requires Release Manager-level access and
privileges to complete
## Release Manager Associates
Release Manager Associates are apprentices to the Release Managers, formerly
referred to as Release Manager shadows. They are responsible for:
- Patch release work, cherry pick review
- Contributing to k/release: updating dependencies and getting used to the
source codebase
- Contributing to the documentation: maintaining the handbooks, ensuring that
release processes are documented
- With help from a release manager: working with the Release Team during the
release cycle and cutting Kubernetes releases
- Seeking opportunities to help with prioritization and communication
- Sending out pre-announcements and updates about patch releases
- Updating the calendar, helping with the release dates and milestones from
the [release cycle timeline][k-sig-release-releases]
- Through the Buddy program, onboarding new contributors and pairing up with
them on tasks

- Wilson Husin ([@wilsonehusin](https://github.com/wilsonehusin))
### Becoming a Release Manager Associate
Contributors can become Associates by demonstrating the following:
- consistent participation, including 6-12 months of active release
engineering-related work
- experience fulfilling a technical lead role on the Release Team during a
release cycle
- this experience provides a solid baseline for understanding how SIG Release
works overall—including our expectations regarding technical skills,
communications/responsiveness, and reliability
- working on k/release items that improve our interactions with Testgrid,
cleaning up libraries, etc.
- these efforts require interacting and pairing with Release Managers and
Associates
## Build Admins
Build Admins are (currently) Google employees with the requisite access to
Google build systems/tooling to publish deb/rpm packages on behalf of the
Kubernetes project. They are responsible for:
- Building, signing, and publishing the deb/rpm packages
- Being the interlock with Release Managers (and Associates) on the final steps
of each minor (1.Y) and patch (1.Y.Z) release

- Amit Watve ([@amwat](https://github.com/amwat))
- Benjamin Elder ([@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))
- Grant McCloskey ([@MushuEE](https://github.com/MushuEE))
## SIG Release Leads
SIG Release Chairs and Technical Leads are responsible for:
- The governance of SIG Release
- Leading knowledge exchange sessions for Release Managers and Associates
- Coaching on leadership and prioritization
They are mentioned explicitly here as they are owners of the various
communications channels and permissions groups (GitHub teams, GCP access) for
each role. As such, they are highly privileged community members and privy to
some private communications, which can at times relate to Kubernetes security
disclosures.
