From the below link,

Amazon EKS is available in the following Regions at this time:
US West (Oregon) (us-west-2) US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1) EU (Ireland) (eu-west-1).
Is it possible to create AWS EKS cluster apart from this regions? Example, to deploy in us-west-1 or us-east-2.
I have created a terraform script to create the EKS cluster using existing VPCs. However, it fails with below error, I am trying to create the EKS cluster in us-west-1 region.
error creating EKS Cluster: RequestError: send request failed caused by: Post https://eks.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/clusters: dial tcp: lookup eks.us-west-1.amazonaws.com on XX.XX.XX.XX:53: no such host
No, It is not possible. As EKS is a managed service, you cannot create a cluster of it is not available in that region.
