To choose your features and options

   Note

   We recommend that you create your Kubernetes cluster with the latest available Kubernetes version supported by Amazon EKS Anywhere. For more information, see Amazon EKS-Anywhere Versioning. If your application requires a specific version of Kubernetes, use any version of Kubernetes offered in standard or extended support by Amazon EKS. Consider the release and support dates of Kubernetes versions when planning the lifecycle of your deployment. This will help you avoid the potential loss of support for the version of Kubernetes you intend to use. For more information, see Amazon EKS Kubernetes release calendar.

   1. In the Build your own AMI section, choose the AMIs you have built for Amazon EKS Anywhere. See Actions to complete before ordering a Snowball Edge device for Amazon EKS Anywhere on AWS Snow.
