In line with the Kubernetes community support for Kubernetes versions, Amazon EKS is committed to offering standard support for at least four production-ready versions of Kubernetes at any given time. We will announce the end of standard support date of a given Kubernetes minor version at least 60 days in advance. Because of the Amazon EKS qualification and release process for new Kubernetes versions, the end of standard support date of a Kubernetes version on Amazon EKS will be on or after the date that the Kubernetes project stops supporting the version upstream.
