You can check on their roadmap and see what is going on there: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/projects/1, AWS team is always a bit behind from obvious reasons as every version must be well checked, tested and adjusted to AWS services

I think we can all agree that we would like an EKS Uwubernetes cluster

When do you think this will be available in EKS pls?

My hunch would be that as the K8s v1.30 AMIs have been released (AL2/AL2023 & Bottlerocket), we're probably not too far away from seeing EKS support K8s v1.30.

Already seeing 1.30 as a possible version to upgrade or create clusters on us-east-2.

Not appearing yet on the eks-distro github as release/readme manifest, although the images themselves can be found on the public ECR (for example the kube-apiserver tag v1.30.0-eks-1-30-4)..
