What is the significance of Kubernetes release cadence and the support window for minor versions?

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes' release cadence and support window are crucial for cluster maintenance. The correct answer highlights the approximately 3 minor versions released per year, with 14 months of patch releases. This contrasts with options A and D, which misstate the release frequency and support duration. Option C incorrectly implies indefinite support.
