ReleaseChannel indicates which release channel a cluster is
subscribed to. Release channels are arranged in order of risk.
When a cluster is subscribed to a release channel, Google
maintains both the master version and the node version. Node
auto-upgrade defaults to true and cannot be disabled.
WARNING: Versions available in the RAPID Channel
may be subject to unresolved issues with no
known workaround and are not subject to any
SLAs.
REGULAR (2):
Clusters subscribed to REGULAR receive
versions that are considered GA quality. REGULAR
is intended for production users who want to
take advantage of new features.
STABLE (3):
Clusters subscribed to STABLE receive
versions that are known to be stable and
reliable in production.
EXTENDED (4):
Clusters subscribed to EXTENDED receive
extended support and availability for versions
which are known to be stable and reliable in
production.
