About Amazon EKS 1.30

Amazon EKS 1.30 recently reached end of life on July 23, 2025. This means it no longer receives security patches or bug fixes from the maintainers. If you are still on this version, now is the time to finalize your upgrade plan before the gap between your version and the current release grows wider.

The recommended upgrade path is to Amazon EKS 1.35. Since Amazon EKS 1.30 is 4 major versions behind, consider a staged upgrade through intermediate versions to catch breaking changes incrementally rather than all at once. Review the release notes for each intervening major version to identify API changes, deprecated features, and removed functionality that may affect your codebase.
