# EKS Update

EKS Update in AWS refers to the operation that updates an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster. It allows you to modify cluster settings such as Kubernetes version, logging configuration, or other cluster-level parameters. This operation helps keep your cluster secure, up to date, and aligned with the latest EKS features without needing to recreate the cluster.

```
aws.eks_update
```
