## SIG Release Roadmap for 2021 and beyond

This document contains the SIG Release Roadmap for 2021. The status tracking can
be found at the bottom. More detailed information can be found on the [SIG
Release][0] and [Release Engineering][1] project boards.

### Primary Focus

Establish a **consumable**, **introspectable**, and **secure** supply chain for
Kubernetes. As a supply chain we understand the defining, building and
publishing of Kubernetes related artifacts.

1. **Consumable**: Improving the usability of artifacts by making their
   consumption easier. This includes being process independent from external
   companies like Google.
1. **Introspectable**: It is clear for users at which point and how Kubernetes
   artifacts are being built. This includes the documentation of all
   deliverables as well as clarifying what we do not support.
1. **Secure**: The artifacts we produce are verified for their integrity. This
   applies to their functionality (we know what we deliver) as well as their
   software security (we know when CVEs occur).

### Deliverables

The following deliverables are necessary to achieve the overall goal. Within
the following listing, all deliverables are sorted by their priority.

1. **Formalize supported release platforms (Introspectable)**

   https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/issues/1337

   Outcome: Definition of the life cycle for currently supported Kubernetes
   artifacts and a guideline for the community about how to add new platforms.

1. **Implement a Bill of Materials (BOM) for release artifacts (Introspectable /
   Secure)**

1. **Introspectable**: It is clear for users at which point and how Kubernetes
   artifacts are being built. This includes the documentation of all
   deliverables as well as clarifying what we do not support. All official
   release artifacts will be built by a hermetic process that is impervious to
   human interference.
1. **Secure**: The artifacts we produce are verified for their integrity. This
   applies to their functionality (we know what we deliver) as well as their
   software security (we know when CVEs occur).
