This page lists the status, timeline and policy for currently supported releases of cert-manager.

All cert-manager releases are supported at least until the release of a second subsequent version.
That means there are always at least two supported versions of cert-manager at any given time,
and possibly more if there's also a current Long Term Support version.
That means there are always at least two supported versions of cert-manager. The open source cert-manager project
doesn't maintain long term support (LTS) releases, but some [vendors](#long-term-support-releases) do provide LTS releases commercially.

We aim to do regular releases roughly every 4 months but release dates can vary when accounting for holidays,
conferences (such as KubeCon), maintainer commitments and other world events.
