Keeping Kubernetes Secure with Updated Go Version
Since v1.19 (released in 2020), the Kubernetes project provides 12-14 months of patch releases for each minor version. This enables users to qualify and adopt Kubernetes versions in an annual upgrade cycle and receive security fixes for a year.
The Go project releases new minor versions twice a year, and provides security fixes for the last two minor versions, resulting in about a year of support for each Go version. Even though each new Kubernetes minor version is built with a supported Go version when it is first released, that Go version falls out of support before the Kubernetes minor version does, and the lengthened Kubernetes patch support since v1.19 only widened that gap.
At the time this was written, just over half of all Go patch releases (88/171) have contained fixes for issues with possible security implications. Even though many of these issues were not relevant to Kubernetes, some were, so it remained important to use supported Go versions that received those fixes.
