The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service dashboard expanded to include certificate authority (CA) rotation visibility, centralizing information on CA expiration and rotation events across multiple clusters, accounts, and regions. This helps platform teams efficiently prioritize necessary rotations without managing each cluster individually.

Clusters created since 2018 have CAs nearing the end of a 10-year lifespan, necessitating rotation. The dashboard interfaces with AWS Organizations for aggregated data and is freely accessible from the US East region. This enhancement simplifies security maintenance processes for Kubernetes operators managing large cluster fleets.
