I was wondering that too for EKS and saw on the EKS Release Calendar [1] that 1.22 isn’t even targeted until March 2022. So I’m assuming 1.23 isn’t available for EKS until at least the summer. EKS releases were starting to almost catch up with upstream, but I wonder if the version churn and support may have been too much for AWS customers to keep up with and they slowed it down some. 1. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-versions.html#kubernetes-release-calendar https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-...

version churn is a real issue on EKS. my team had to dedicate someone almost full time to EKS upgrades due to them constantly EOLing. with small clusters sure it may be easy to upgrade, but with multiple large clusters it’s a lot of very dangerous ops this felt like a big step back. on ec2 you do some server management here and there. with eks we needed a nearly full time dev ops. you would think severless would reduce the need for dev ops

  As long as you can rapidly update your dependency stack with Argo or Helmfile and you have good TF or CF for the cluster upgrade, EKS upgrades are a breeze I’ve found! The biggest time sink is rolling nodes which I think managed ode groups can do automatically if you have those going.
