Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Capabilities can now be configured as log delivery sources using Amazon CloudWatch Vended Logs. This enables customers to monitor and troubleshoot their EKS Capabilities for Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and kro (Kubernetes Resource Orchestrator) by monitoring logs collected from the managed controllers that run in AWS-managed infrastructure. Customers can enable log delivery for each capability using CloudWatch APIs or the AWS Console. Logs are configured as a CloudWatch Vended Logs delivery source, enabling reliable, secure log

Why this matters
Why now

Why it’s important

This update provides improved observability for critical Kubernetes components, enabling more robust management and troubleshooting of containerized applications on AWS.

What changes

Customers can now natively integrate logs from Amazon EKS capabilities like Argo CD and ACK directly into CloudWatch, streamlining monitoring workflows.
