+# Release Procedure
+
+The Barman Cloud Plugin follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) and

+commit messages.
+It leverages the [Release Please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please)
+tool to automate the release process.
+
+The only requirement is that each release must include versioned documentation.
+For more details, please refer to [web/README.md](web/README.md).
