Supported Versions

KubeArmor versions follow Semantic Versioning terminology and are expressed as x.y.z:

  • where x is the major version
  • y is the minor version
  • and z is the patch version

Security fixes may be backported to some recent minor releases, depending on severity and feasibility. Patch releases are cut from those branches periodically, plus additional urgent releases, when required.
