Hello, Kubernetes community!

Happy New Year! 🎉 (Hopefully, it’s not too late in January to still say that...)

I’m excited to kick off the first Kubernetes release of 2025—v1.33[0]. My name is Nina Polshakova and I’ll be serving as your fearless Release Lead for this cycle.

The release cycle officially began this week on Monday, January 13th, and we’re targeting Wednesday, April 23rd for the final release cut. Below are the key milestones for the 1.33 release[1]:

  • Release Cycle begins: Monday, January 13th
  • Enhancements Freeze:  Friday, February 14th at 02:00 UTC (Thursday, February 13th at 19:00 PDT)
  • Code and Test Freeze: Friday, March 20th at 02:00 UTC (Thursday, March 19th at 19:00 PDT)
  • Release Day: Wednesday 23rd April 2025

Joining me on this exciting journey as Release Lead Shadows are:

  • Vyom Yadav
  • Matteo Bianchi
  • Rashan Smith
  • Sanchita Mishra
  • Daniel Chan

The v1.33 Release Team has been established[2] and we're privileged to have an
amazing group of subteam leads[3]:

  • Rayan Das as Docs Lead
  • Ryota Sawada as Communications Lead
  • Dipesh Rawat as Enhancements Lead
  • Wendy Ha as Release Signal

And, of course, we’re grateful to have Angelos Kolaitis as our Emeritus Adviser for this release!

This release cycle will have one major change to the release team structure- the Docs and Release Notes subteams have been combined under a single "Docs" subteam. We expect this to result in a cleaner and more transparent process for both the release team and the community.

Starting next week, we’ll share more detailed communications about the release, so stay tuned!

Please don't hesitate to ping us on #sig-release[4] if you have any comments, concerns, or questions.

Thank you!

Nina Polshakova
