+# CAPL Releases
+
+## Release Cadence
+
+CAPL currently has no set release cadence.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+Any significant user-facing bug fix that lands in the main branch should be
+backported to the current and previous release lines.
+
+## Versioning Scheme
+
+CAPL follows the [semantic versionining](https://semver.org/#semantic-versioning-200) specification.
+
+Example versions:
+
+- Pre-release: `v0.1.1-alpha.1`
+- Minor release: `v0.1.0`
+- Patch release: `v0.1.1`
+- Major release: `v1.0.0`
+
+## Release Process
+
+### Update metadata.yaml (skip for patch releases)
+
+- Make sure [metadata.yaml](https://github.com/linode/cluster-api-provider-linode/blob/main/metadata.yaml)
+is up to date and contains the new release with the correct Cluster API contract version.
+  - If not, open a PR to add it.
+
+### Create a release branch (skip for patch releases)
+
+- Create a release branch off of `main` named
+`release-$(MAJOR_VERSION).$(MINOR_VERSION)` (e.g. release-0.1)
+
+### Create a tag for the release branch
+
+- After ensuring all desired changes for the release are in the release branch,
+create a tag following semantic versioning (e.g. v0.1.1)
+- Ensure the [release workflow](https://github.com/linode/cluster-api-provider-linode/actions/workflows/release.yml)
+succeeds for the created tag to build and push the Docker image and generate
+the [release artifacts](#expected-artifacts).
+
+### Release in GitHub
+
+- Create a [new release](https://github.com/linode/cluster-api-provider-linode/releases/new).
+  - Use the newly created tag
+  - Make sure to click "Generate Release Notes"
+  - Review the generated Release Notes and make any necessary changes.
+  - If the tag is a pre-release, make sure to check the "Set as a pre-release box"
+
+### Expected artifacts
+
+- A `infrastructure-components.yaml` file containing the resources needed to deploy to Kubernetes
+- A `cluster-templates.yaml` file for each supported flavor
+- A `metadata.yaml` file which maps release series to the Cluster API contract version
+
+### Communication
+
+1. Announce the release in the Kubernetes Slack on the
+[#linode](https://kubernetes.slack.com/messages/CD4B15LUR) channel
