" summary

Announces a concrete EKS roadmap: EKS managed node groups is now generally available, automating provisioning, scaling, rolling updates and node draining (respects pod disruption budgets) across 16 regions for Kubernetes 1.14 and uses standard EC2 billing and RIs. Plans include a next‑gen CNI for high pod density and per‑node security group controls, support for ARM EC2 instances, more instance families like G4, faster cluster create times, improvements for Spot autoscaling, and an open source AWS node termination handler already released.
