Kubernetes Engine cluster not using Release Channel for version management

Description

The release channels allow organizations to better set their expectation of what is stable. GKE’s release channel options include “rapid,” “regular,” and “stable.” This allows you to opt for the alpha releases as part of the “rapid” option, “regular” for standard release needs and “stable” when the tried-and-tested version becomes available.
