Description

Automation in EKS as a service has come in only bits and pieces. EKS with managed nodes is not really that useful without having a one click full upgrade where EKS version, aws-node, dns etc. along with the worker nodes get upgraded without running or orchestrating commands manually. This can be broken down into 2 pieces 1) Full cluster upgrade with nodes 2) Only worker node upgrades for ongoing AMI rotation. This is a critical functionality

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified. Start by breaking the request into full cluster upgrades and worker-node-only AMI rotation, then determine how EKS version, aws-node, DNS, and worker nodes should be orchestrated. Done means both upgrade workflows are defined and can run without manual commands.
