| Recommended Action | Check for the version on all EKS clusters to be the latest platform version. |
- Amazon EKS automatically upgrades all existing clusters to the latest Amazon EKS platform version.
- If your cluster is more than two platform versions behind the current platform version, then it's possible that Amazon EKS wasn't able to automatically update your cluster.
