+## Adding support for a new Kubernetes release
+
+1. Add the new release to `k8s_versions` in
+   https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/090dec5dd535d5f61b7ba52e671a810f5fc13dfd/config/jobs/kubernetes-csi/gen-jobs.sh#L25
+   to enable generating a job for it. Set `experimental_k8s_version`
+   in
+   https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/090dec5dd535d5f61b7ba52e671a810f5fc13dfd/config/jobs/kubernetes-csi/gen-jobs.sh#L40
+   to ensure that the new jobs aren't run for PRs unless explicitly
+   requested. Generate and submit the new jobs.
+1. Create a test PR to try out the new job in some repo with `/test
+   pull-kubernetes-csi-<repo>-<x.y>-on-kubernetes-<x.y>` where x.y
+   matches the Kubernetes release. Alternatively, run .prow.sh in that
+   repo locally with `CSI_PROW_KUBERNETES_VERSION=x.y.z`.
+1. Optional: update to a new release of kind (TODO: add link) with
+   pre-built images for the new Kubernetes release. This is optional
+   if the current version of kind is able to build images for the new
+   Kubernetes release. This change needs to be tried out in a PR
+   against a component first, then get submitted against
+   csi-release-tools.
+1. Optional: propagate the updated csi-release-tools to all components
+   with the script from
+   https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-release-tools/issues/7#issuecomment-707025402
+1. Once it is likely to work in all components, unset
+   `experimental_k8s_version` and submit the updated jobs.
+1. Once all sidecars for the new Kubernetes release are released,
+   either bump the version number of the images in the existing
+   [csi-driver-host-path
+   deployments](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-host-path/tree/master/deploy)
+   and/or create a new deployment, depending on what Kubernetes
+   release an updated sidecar is compatible with. If no new deployment
+   is needed, then add a symlink to document that there intentionally
+   isn't a separate deployment. This symlink is not needed for Prow
+   testing because that will use "kubernetes-latest" as fallback.
+   Update that link when creating a new deployment.
