AWS Backup support for Amazon EKS is now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region

AWS Backup support for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region. This expansion brings fully-managed, policy-based data protection and recovery to your Amazon EKS clusters in this newly supported Region — including automated scheduling, retention management, immutable vaults, and cross-Region and cross-account copies. You can use AWS Backup for Amazon EKS to protect entire EKS clusters, specific namespaces, or individual persistent volumes using a centralized, agent-free solution that replaces custom scripts or third-party tools. Use AWS Backup to protect your clusters for disaster recovery, compliance requirements, or before EKS cluster upgrades. To get started, visit the [AWS Backup console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup), refer to the [AWS Backup documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/whatisbackup.html), or read the [AWS News Blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/secure-eks-clusters-with-the-new-support-for-amazon-eks-in-aws-backup/).
