AWS deprecated this EKS auth method. 81% of clusters still run it.
↗
AWS has deprecated an authentication method for EKS, but the vast majority of clusters continue to rely on it.
WHY IT MATTERS
With 81% of EKS clusters still using the deprecated auth method, teams face a significant migration effort to avoid running on unsupported authentication. The slow adoption suggests either awareness gaps or migration complexity that could become urgent once the method is removed entirely.
