AWS Backup Support for Amazon EKS in AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region

AWS Backup now supports Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region. This release provides fully-managed, policy-based data protection and recovery for your EKS clusters, including automated scheduling, retention management, immutable vaults, and cross-Region and cross-account copies.

You can protect entire EKS clusters, specific namespaces, or individual persistent volumes using a centralized, agent-free solution that replaces custom scripts or third-party tools. Use AWS Backup for disaster recovery, compliance, or before EKS cluster upgrades.
