Amazon EKS Dashboard now provides fleet-wide visibility into certificate authority (CA) rotation

Today, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) announces certificate authority (CA) rotation visibility in the Amazon EKS Dashboard, giving you a consolidated view of CA rotation across your clusters. The Amazon EKS Dashboard already provides centralized visibility into your clusters across AWS Regions and accounts, and it now includes CA rotation, so you can see where action is needed without checking each cluster individually.

Each Amazon EKS cluster has its own CA, and clusters created since 2018 have CAs with a 10-year validity period that are now approaching the point where rotation activities should begin. In the EKS Dashboard, you can now see your clusters and their CA rotation status, which clusters have CAs approaching expiration, and upcoming automated rotation events, so platform teams who operate many clusters can prioritize action across their fleet from one place.

The Amazon EKS Dashboard aggregates data across your accounts and Regions through AWS Organizations, so you enable trusted access for the dashboard in your organization’s management account to use this capability. You view the dashboard from the US East region (us-east-1), and it is available at no additional cost. CA rotation support extends to all commercial AWS Regions, and the dashboard brings that rotation status together in one fleet-wide view. To learn more, see the Amazon EKS documentation.
