Amazon **EKS Distro** (EKS-D) is a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to create reliable and secure Kubernetes

clusters. With EKS-D, you can rely on the same versions of Kubernetes and its

dependencies deployed by Amazon EKS. This includes the latest upstream updates,

as well as extended security patching support. EKS-D follows the same Kubernetes

version release cycle as Amazon EKS, and we provide the bits here. EKS-D offers

the same software that has enabled tens of thousands of Kubernetes clusters on

Amazon EKS.



This GitHub repository has everything required to build the components that make

up the EKS Distro from source.

### Kubernetes 1.18 - 1.27: DEPRECATED



In alignment with the [Amazon EKS release calendar](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-versions.html#kubernetes-release-calendar),

EKS Distro has discontinued support of Kubernetes v1.18 - v1.26. While there are

no plans to remove these versions' images from EKS Distro ECR, there will be no

more updates, including security fixes, for them.



**Due to the increased security risk this poses, it is HIGHLY recommended that

users of v1.18 - v1.26 update to a supported version (v1.27+) as soon as

possible.**



## Development



The EKS Distro is built using

[Prow](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow), the

Kubernetes CI/CD system. EKS operates an installation of Prow, which is visible

at https://prow.eks.amazonaws.com/. Please read our

[CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) guide before making a Pull Request.



For building EKS Distro locally, refer to the

[building-locally](docs/development/building-locally.md) guide.



For updating project dependencies, refer to the

[update-project-dependency](docs/development/update-project-dependency.md) guide.
