AWS Backup now supports Amazon EKS

AWS Backup now supports Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), providing a fully-managed, centralized solution for backing up EKS cluster state and persistent application data. You can now use AWS Backup to help protect your entire EKS environments through a centralized, policy-driven backup service.

You now get comprehensive data protection capabilities through AWS Backup across your Amazon EKS Clusters, including automated scheduling, retention management, immutable vaults, cross-Region and cross-account copies. AWS Backup delivers a new an agent-free solution that works natively with AWS, replacing custom scripts or third-party tools to perform backups for each cluster. You can restore entire EKS clusters, specific namespaces, or individual persistent volumes. Use AWS Backup to protect your clusters for disaster recovery, to help meet your compliance requirements, or for additional protection before EKS cluster upgrades.

AWS Backup for EKS is available in all AWS Regions where both AWS Backup and Amazon EKS are available. For the most up-to-date information on Regional availability, please refer to the AWS Backup Regional availability.
