## [Amazon EKS v1.28 Cluster Provisioning using Rafay](https://docs.rafay.co/blog/2023/11/03/amazon-eks-v128-cluster-provisioning-using-rafay/)

In our [recent release](https://docs.rafay.co/releasenotes/2023/nov/), we added support for new [EKS cluster](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/eks/overview/) provisioning based on Kubernetes v1.28.

Customers have shared with us that they would like to provision **new** EKS clusters using **new** Kubernetes versions so that they do not have to plan/schedule for Kubernetes upgrades for these clusters **right away**. For the last few releases, we have introduced support for **new cluster provisioning** for the new Kubernetes version first and then follow up with support for **zero touch in-place upgrades**.

Please review our [support matrix](https://docs.rafay.co/supportmatrix/support_matrix/) for additional details on supported Kubernetes version by provider and k8s distribution.
