Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) has introduced new update strategies for its managed node groups, enhancing the way users manage their Kubernetes clusters.
Users now have the flexibility to choose between the 'Default' update strategy and the new 'Minimal Capacity' strategy.
The 'Minimal Capacity' strategy helps reduce costs by launching fewer new EC2 instances during updates, particularly beneficial for node groups with high-demand or limited-availability instances.
These new update strategies are available at no additional cost across all AWS Regions, except for AWS GovCloud (US) and China Regions.
