Amazon EKS and EKS Distro have rolled out support for Kubernetes version 1.35. This update allows users to create new EKS clusters with this version or upgrade existing ones using the EKS console, eksctl command line interface, or infrastructure-as-code tools. This version includes significant improvements like In-Place Pod Resource Updates, which let you adjust CPU and memory for Pods without needing to restart them. Another notable feature is PreferSameNode Traffic Distribution, which prioritizes local endpoints for lower latency. New capabilities also include Node Topology Labels via the Downward API, enabling Pods to access region and zone information without querying the API server. Image Volumes allow users to manage data artifacts, such as AI models, using OCI container images. EKS now supports version 1.35 across all AWS Regions, including AWS GovCloud (US). For more technical details, users can refer to the Kubernetes project release notes or EKS documentation, which also includes information on the version lifecycle policies. EKS cluster insights can help identify potential issues that could affect upgrades. EKS Distro builds of version 1.35 are available on ECR Public Gallery and GitHub, making it easier for developers to access these updates.
