Get all available updates associated with cluster

[proivk]

Hello community,
I'm wondering if it it is possible to get information about all available updates associated with EKS cluster (Kubernetes, Nodegroups AMI, Addons) programmatically?
Something similar to this.

As far as I understand ListUpdates provides information about update history but not about available updates that I can apply to the cluster and its components.

No, I don't think these updates are available to view in the sdk. From the documentation the updates are applied automatically or are viewable in the AWS console:

Criteria	EKS managed node groups
Must update node AMI on your own	Yes – If you deployed an Amazon EKS optimized AMI, you're notified in the Amazon EKS console when updates are available. You can perform the update with one-click in the console. If you deployed a custom AMI, you're not notified in the Amazon EKS console when updates are available. You must perform the update on your own.
Must update node Kubernetes version on your own	Yes – If you deployed an Amazon EKS optimized AMI, you're notified in the Amazon EKS console when updates are available. You can perform the update with one-click in the console. If you deployed a custom AMI, you're not notified in the Amazon EKS console when updates are available. You must perform the update on your own.
