# AWS Backup adds automatic resource changes during EKS restores

_Published Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 3:10 PM EST · Infrastructure · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

AWS says AWS Backup now supports rules that automatically change Kubernetes resources while restoring Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service backups. The feature replaces manual updates to references that point back to a backup's original environment.

Administrators define transformation rules in a YAML file, which AWS Backup applies during restoration. These rules can update references such as IAM roles, database endpoints and container registry addresses when backups move across accounts or AWS Regions. The feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
