When will AWS be releasing K8s 1.34

Amazon EKS typically releases new Kubernetes versions 35-40 days after the upstream Kubernetes release. While I don't have the specific release date for Kubernetes 1.34 on Amazon EKS, this consistent timeline can help you estimate when it might become available.

Amazon EKS follows a predictable support pattern for Kubernetes versions. Each minor version receives standard support for 14 months after release, followed by a 12-month extended support period. In total, EKS stops supporting Kubernetes versions 26 months after their release.

With the recent introduction of programmatic access to Kubernetes version availability, you can now query the EKS API to discover available versions, their support status, and dates. This feature allows you to check when new versions become available without manual monitoring.

To stay informed about the release of Kubernetes 1.34 on EKS, you could set up automated checks using this API, monitor the AWS Health Dashboard, or review the EKS Kubernetes release calendar.
