What is APS3-AmazonEKS-Hours:extendedSupport?

Last updated: January 24, 2025

As of April 2024, Amazon EKS charges for extended support of antiquated Kubernetes versions. Amazon enacted this change to encourage customers to upgrade their EKS clusters to more modern versions. When your Amazon EKS cluster runs a Kubernetes version that is in standard support, you pay $0.10 per cluster per hour. When your Amazon EKS cluster runs a Kubernetes version in extended support, you pay $0.60 per cluster per hour. If you're able to upgrade your Kubernetes cluster versions, it can save you a significant amount of money depending on the number of clusters you're running in your accounts.
