AWS eks high security documentation change
Summary
Updated EKS platform versions documentation by adding new platform versions for Kubernetes 1.35, 1.34, 1.33, 1.32, 1.31, and 1.30 with security fixes and enhancements, removing Kubernetes 1.29 section, and updating a link reference.
Security assessment
The change explicitly adds multiple new platform versions with release notes stating 'New platform version with security fixes and enhancements.' This indicates these updates address security vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes versions. The removal of Kubernetes 1.29 section suggests end-of-life or deprecation, which has security implications as running unsupported versions exposes clusters to unpatched vulnerabilities. The specific mention of 'security fixes' in the release notes provides concrete evidence of security-related updates.
