[Announcement] Kubernetes 1.27.0-rc0 Is Delayed to Thursday 23 March

[Cici Huang]

Hello,

Please be advised that the Kubernetes 1.27.0-rc0 release has been delayed until thursday 23 March 2023 due to a list of release blocking issues/PRs[0] shown up. Today is also the test freeze deadline. The release blocker Issues/PRs owners have to get it fixed by EOD today in order to get into Kubernetes 1.27 release, otherwise the change has to be reverted. For release blocker Issues/PRs owners: please have a revert/feature disable PR raised in case missing the deadline. Thank you! 

We apologize for the delay!

Thank you,

Cici Huang
