Last Updated: October 12, 2026

This page records documentation changes prompted by Kubernetes, Amazon EKS and CNCF news. GitHub Actions prepares updates each Monday at 09:00 KST and opens a PR after its quality gate passes. Changes reach the site after review, merge and deployment.

Week labels identify log-entry weeks and may differ from source publication dates. These are historical records; consult the linked guides and official sources for current support, security patches and operating requirements. “No matching doc” describes the automated match at that time.
