Retrieve Windows AMI version information

Important

Extended Support for Amazon EKS optimized Windows AMIs that are published by Amazon isn’t available for Kubernetes version 1.23 but is available for Kubernetes version 1.24 and higher.

This topic lists versions of the Amazon EKS optimized Windows AMIs and their corresponding versions of kubelet, containerd, and csi-proxy.

The Amazon EKS optimized AMI metadata, including the AMI ID, for each variant can be retrieved programmatically. For more information, see Retrieve recommended Microsoft Windows AMI IDs.

AMIs are versioned by Kubernetes version and the release date of the AMI in the following format:

k8s_major_version.k8s_minor_version-release_date
Note

Amazon EKS managed node groups support the November 2022 and later releases of the Windows AMIs.

Amazon EKS optimized Windows Server 2022 Core AMI

The following tables list the current and previous versions of the Amazon EKS optimized Windows Server 2022 Core AMI.
