Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Auto Mode is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and (US-West) regions. This feature fully automates compute, storage, and networking management for Kubernetes clusters. Additionally, EKS Auto Mode now supports FIPS-validated cryptographic modules through its Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) to help customers meet FedRAMP compliance requirements.
EKS Auto Mode enables organizations to get Kubernetes conformant managed compute, networking, and storage for any new or existing EKS cluster. Its AMIs include FIPS-compliant cryptographic modules to help meet federal security standards for regulated workloads. EKS Auto Mode manages OS patching and updates, and strengthens security posture through ephemeral compute, making it ideal for workloads that require high security standards. It also dynamically scales EC2 instances based on demand, helping optimize compute costs while maintaining application availability.
Amazon EKS Auto Mode is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and (US-West). You can enable EKS Auto Mode in any EKS cluster running Kubernetes 1.29 and above with no upfront fees or commitments—you pay for the management of the compute resources provisioned, in addition to your regular EC2 costs.
To get started with EKS Auto Mode, visit the Amazon EKS product page. For additional details, see the Amazon EKS User Guide and AWS GovCloud (US) documentation.
