Upgrading Amazon Kubernetes Service (EKS)
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster requires regular updates to the Kubernetes versions. Using the latest EKS version supported by Cloudera avoids compatibility issues between Cloudera Data Warehouse and AWS resources.
Cloudera Data Warehouse automatically provisions the latest supported EKS version when you activate an environment in Cloudera Data Warehouse. EKS 1.30 is provisioned automatically when you activate your environment from Cloudera Data Warehouse using release 1.9.1-b166 (released December 5, 2024) and later.
To upgrade to the latest EKS, you must deactivate and reactivate your Cloudera Data Warehouse environment. To restore the state of your Cloudera Data Warehouse cluster after reactivation, Cloudera recommends using the backup-restore functionality.
