Previously, the Kubernetes API endpoint was accessible from outside of your VPC. Worker nodes needed to call outside of your VPC to get the correct IP addresses to connect to the API server and access to the API server was limited using security groups.



Now, you can manage access to the endpoint so that all traffic to the API server stays within your VPC. This gives you an additional layer of security and control over your Kubernetes clusters managed by EKS.
