    Sorry you have to deal with this. You can stay on Amazon EKS. Here is what to change before March 27, 2027:

1. Check cluster versions. In the EKS console, or with aws eks describe-cluster-versions, look for 1.35.
2. Upgrade before the date. Upgrade the control plane, then node groups and add-ons. Test your apps after each step.
3. Or budget for extended support. If you stay, each cluster costs $0.60 per hour until March 27, 2028.
