# CI Signal Report for Week 10, Release cycle 1.27, 2023-03-18, 🟢

Hello and welcome to the CI Signal report for the [Kubernetes 1.27 release cycle](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/tree/master/releases/release-1.27). This is week 10 of the release cycle.

The CI Signal team observes closely
- [master-blocking](https://testgrid.k8s.io/sig-release-master-blocking#Summary)
- [master-informing](https://testgrid.k8s.io/sig-release-master-informing#Summary)

TEST FREEZE, as well as the next release cut, is planned for next Tuesday 2023-03-21. As the release cut is in the next days, expect to see a message in `#release-ci-signal` to give a [go or no-go signal](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/release-team/role-handbooks/ci-signal/README.md#release-cutting---go-or-no-go) from CI Signal Shadow [@drewhagen](https://github.com/drewhagen).

Overall our status is 🟢 Green.

Thank you to SIG-Testing and especially [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder) keeping the CI Signal team up to date on some ongoing test infra improvements.

By the way, if you are looking at testgrid dashboards for prior releases (blocking-1.25, blocking-1.26, etc), they are affected by an issue with a change in build tags, see github issue [#2972](https://github.com/kubernetes/release/issues/2972).
