Amazon EKS Auto Mode Announces Enhanced Logging for its Managed Kubernetes Capabilities

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Auto Mode’s managed capabilities can now be configured as log delivery sources using Amazon CloudWatch Vended Logs. This integration enables customers to monitor and troubleshoot their EKS Auto Mode clusters more effectively by automatically collecting logs from Auto Mode’s managed Kubernetes capabilities for compute autoscaling, block storage, load balancing, and pod networking.

Customers can configure log delivery for Auto Mode capabilities using CloudWatch APIs or the AWS Console. Each Auto Mode capability can be configured as a CloudWatch Vended Logs delivery source, enabling reliable, secure log delivery with built-in AWS authentication and authorization at a reduced price compared to standard CloudWatch Logs. Customers can deliver these logs to CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose destinations.

This feature is available today in all regions where EKS Auto Mode is available. Standard CloudWatch Logs, S3, or Kinesis charges apply depending on the chosen destination.
