Who is giving you 100% uptime? All major providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc) all have had outages in the past 3 years. And that level of infrastructural failure doesn't care about whether or not you're using k8s.

EKS (AWS Kubernetes) has the control plane across 3 AZs.

It is very rare to have a complete region outage so it is pretty close to 100% uptime.

Not OP but you can achieve higher availability through means like redundancy, availability zones, multi-region deployments, etc.
