EKS-D has discontinued support of Kubernetes v1.20. While there are no plans to removed EKS-D v1.20 images from the ECR, there will be no more updates to v1.20. Due to the increased security risk this poses, it is HIGHLY recommended that users of v1.20 update to a supported version (v1.21+) as soon as possible.

Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) is a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to create reliable and secure Kubernetes clusters. With EKS-D, you can rely on the same versions of Kubernetes and its dependencies deployed by Amazon EKS. This includes the latest upstream updates, as well as extended security patching support. EKS-D follows the same Kubernetes version release cycle as Amazon EKS, and we provide the bits here. EKS-D offers the same software that has enabled tens of thousands of Kubernetes clusters on Amazon EKS.
This GitHub repository has everything required to build the components that make up the EKS Distro from source.
Full documentation for releases can be found on https://distro.eks.amazonaws.com.
