AWS Backup can now back up Amazon EKS clusters and their data. This service offers automated scheduling, retention management, and the ability to restore entire clusters or specific elements. It simplifies backup processes by eliminating the need for custom scripts or third-party tools.

Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now support Kubernetes version 1.34, featuring new security enhancements, improved resource management, and prioritized device requirements for better workload scheduling. Users can create new clusters or upgrade existing ones to this version through various interfaces. The update is available in all AWS Regions, including GovCloud.
