AWS EKS Control Plane Price Reduction — $73/month Down to $58/month per Cluster

AWS reduced EKS control plane pricing from $0.10/hr ($73/month) to $0.08/hr ($58/month) — a 20% reduction. Applies to all EKS Standard clusters. EKS Auto mode pricing unchanged.

TCOIQ: For teams running many EKS clusters (dev, staging, prod, per-team), the saving adds up. 10 clusters: saves $150/month automatically. Still $58/month more than Azure AKS (free control plane) and GKE Standard ($73/month). ECS remains free.
