Description
**Tell us about your request**
I would like to use dots in my cluster names
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
I am trying to reuse a lot of automation to migrate kops-created clusters to EKS clusters. kops allows clusters with dots, EKS does not
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Replacing dots with dashes, and it's never truly clear when I'll get away without doing that.
Contributor guide
Research direction
This is an AWS EKS feature request motivated by migrating kops-created clusters and currently replacing dots with dashes. Start by reviewing the EKS cluster-name constraints and the existing kops-to-EKS automation; done means EKS accepts cluster names containing dots without requiring that workaround.
