Thank you for the video, one thing - you didn't comment on the message: "The Container Storage Interface (CSI) migration feature offloads management operations of persistent volumes provisioned with the in-tree EBS storage plugin to the Amazon EBS CSI driver. This feature is enabled by default in Amazon EKS version 1.23 and later. If you are using EBS volumes in your cluster, then you must install the Amazon EBS CSI driver before updating your cluster to version 1.23 to avoid interruptions to your workloads.Learn more " It would be nice if you included that also in the video.

Hello, I have an eks cluster running version 1.22 and it wasn't auto-upgraded. What are the inconvenients of letting my cluster on this version?

[@amjads8971]

In a real world production scenario how do u stay on top of this? To avoid downtime for your clients using clusters and which can be in 100s
