+### Supported cluster versions
+
+GitLab is committed to support at least two production-ready Kubernetes minor versions at any given time. We regularly review the versions we support, and provide a four-month deprecation period before we remove support of a specific version. The range of supported versions is based on the evaluation of:
+
+- Our own needs.
+- The versions supported by major managed Kubernetes providers.
+- The versions [supported by the Kubernetes community](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/release/version-skew-policy/#supported-versions).
+
+Currently, GitLab supports the following Kubernetes versions:
+
+- 1.15
+- 1.14
+- 1.13 (deprecated, support ends on November 22, 2020)
+- 1.12 (deprecated, support ends on September 22, 2020)

+NOTE: **Note:**
+Some GitLab features may support versions outside the range provided here.
