Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for eksctl-io/eksctl focused on delivering strategic geographic expansion and aligning default node AMIs with current Kubernetes versions to improve reliability and operator experience. Key changes include enabling AWS region ap-east-2 support and upgrading the default AMI family to AmazonLinux2023 for Kubernetes 1.33+ with validation to prevent AmazonLinux2 usage in 1.33+, plus corresponding test updates to reflect the new defaults. These changes broaden deployment reach, reduce misconfigurations, and strengthen test coverage across regions and Kubernetes versions.
