+### Releasing
+
+We generally adhear to the release strategy [documented by the Azure SDK Guidelines](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/policies_repobranching.html#release-branches). Most releases should happen from the master branch. If master contains commits that cannot be released, you may create a release from a `release/` or `hotfix/` branch. See linked documentation for more details.
