Kubernetes Release
This repo contains the tooling and infrastructure to create Kubernetes releases from the kubernetes/kubernetes main repository.
Intro
There are several scripts and helpers in this repository a release manager will find useful when managing all kinds of releases (alpha, beta, official, rc) across branches.
