AWS Batch now supports Amazon EKS access entry authentication

<p>AWS Batch now supports Amazon EKS access entry authentication for compute environments. EKS access entries provide an API-driven approach to granting IAM principals access to Kubernetes clusters, complementing the existing <i>aws-auth</i> <i>ConfigMap</i>. AWS Batch can now authenticate to your cluster through the access entry mechanism, simplifying cluster setup and authentication lifecycle management. <br> <br> To get started, use the <i>CreateComputeEnvironment</i> or <i>UpdateComputeEnvironment</i> APIs to set <i>accessEntry.desiredState</i> to ENABLED on all AWS Batch compute environments targeting your cluster. AWS Batch creates one access entry per cluster and associates the <i>AWSBatchClusterPolicy</i> with it. You can configure access entries through the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS Management Console. <br> <br> Access entry authentication for AWS Batch on Amazon EKS is now supported in all <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/">AWS Regions</a> where AWS Batch is available. For more information, see Amazon EKS access entry authentication in the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/userguide/eks-access-entries.html">AWS Batch User Guide</a>.</p>
