How can I know if a version is no longer supported? I found their docs talking about the four previous versions, but that seems to just be about the documentation and I can't find a statement about the software itself. Does the Kubernetes project do anything like Ubuntu or Node.js with the LTS concept, or is it a situation where you need to be running a version within the last x releases?

No, there is no concept of LTS in upstream Kubernetes yet. That's currently a job for the "distributions" (OpenShift, Canonical, GKE, Azure, etc).

Regarding supported versions, it seems the project still aims to support 3 versions at a time. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contribu...

You often find some confusing statements about supported versions because sometimes they're talking about version skew between different components. More about that here: https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/7103
