Common questions about Amazon EKS releases and lifecycle.

How long does AWS support each EKS version?

Standard support lasts about 14 months. Extended support is available at additional cost, adding up to 12 more months.

What happens when my EKS version reaches end of life?

AWS will auto-upgrade your cluster to the oldest supported version if you do not upgrade manually before the EOL date.

How often is EKS version data updated?

Version data is refreshed every 6 hours from endoflife.date, which aggregates official AWS announcements.

Should I use EKS extended support?

Only if you cannot upgrade in time. Extended support costs extra and delays necessary migration work. Plan upgrades proactively instead.
