AWS eks: EKS platform version release notes updated; K8s 1.30 section removed
Summary
Adds new EKS platform version rows for Kubernetes 1.36, 1.35, 1.34, 1.33, 1.32 and 1.31 (eks.11–eks.70, dated September 8/16, 2026) with the standard 'New platform version with security fixes and enhancements' note, and removes the entire Kubernetes 1.30 platform-version section (including its admission controller list) from the page. The version selector at the top also drops 1.30.
Security assessment
The added lines are routine EKS platform-version release entries whose 'security fixes and enhancements' wording is the boilerplate used for every platform release; no specific vulnerability, CVE, advisory, or misconfiguration is identified, and the removed 1.30 content is version-lifecycle cleanup (end of support) rather than a security disclosure. Deleted text did include the admission controller list for 1.30, but that is coverage documentation for a retired version, not a hardening change.
