+## Overview
+
+This document explains the release strategy for opensearch-api-specification.
+
+## Versioning
+
+At this time this project follows minor semantic versioning, i.e. a breaking change is an increment from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 and a non-breaking change is an increment from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1. A version 1.0 of the API specification will be released when the spec is known to be complete against any current version of OpenSearch.
+
+## Branching
+
+Given the early release stages of this repo we only maintain a **main** branch where all merges take place and code moves fast.
+
+# Releasing
+
+A release can be done by any [maintainer](MAINTAINERS.md).
+
+1. Check out the [upstream repo](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-api-specification) and ensure the repo is up-to-date with `git pull origin main` and that you do not have any local changes.
+2. Create a tag, e.g. `git tag v0.1.0`, and push it to GitHub with `git push origin --tags`.
+3. The [release workflow](.github/workflows/release.yml) will be automatically kicked off, a draft release, and a pull request that increments the version in [spec/_info.yaml](spec/_info.yaml) will be created.
+4. Verify and release the draft.
+5. Approve, and merge the version increment pull request.
