Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now supports Kubernetes version 1.34

Kubernetes version 1.34 introduced several new features and bug fixes, and AWS is excited to announce that you can now use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon EKS Distro to run Kubernetes version 1.34. Starting today, you can create new EKS clusters using version 1.34 and upgrade existing clusters to version 1.34 using the EKS console, the eksctl command line interface, or through an infrastructure-as-code tool.

Kubernetes version 1.34 introduces several key improvements, including projected service account tokens for kubelet image credential providers helping improve security for container image pulls, and Pod-level resource requests and limits for simplified multi-container resource management. The release also introduces Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) prioritized alternatives, enabling workloads to define prioritized device requirements for improved resource scheduling. To learn more about the changes in Kubernetes version 1.34, see our documentation and the Kubernetes project release notes.

EKS now supports Kubernetes version 1.34 in all the AWS Regions where EKS is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

You can learn more about the Kubernetes versions available on EKS and instructions to update your cluster to version 1.34 by visiting EKS documentation. You can use EKS cluster insights to check if there any issues that can impact your Kubernetes cluster upgrades. EKS Distro builds of Kubernetes version 1.34 are available through ECR Public Gallery and GitHub. Learn more about the EKS version lifecycle policies in the documentation.
