About AWS EKS

Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is AWS's managed Kubernetes control plane, running production-grade clusters across all AWS regions so teams can deploy container workloads without operating the Kubernetes control plane themselves. EKS powers cloud-native application migration and greenfield container deployments at enterprises standardising on Kubernetes. EKS control plane outages block pod scheduling, rolling deployments, and cluster autoscaling in the affected region. Track live Amazon EKS status by region and monitor EKS incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS EKS down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS EKS status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS EKS status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS EKS outage?

If AWS EKS is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS EKS team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS EKS uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS EKS uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS EKS outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS EKS official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS EKS goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS EKS. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS EKS status changes.

How do I report a AWS EKS issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS EKS components?

Yes, where AWS EKS exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS EKS component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS EKS is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS EKS?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS EKS alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
