Join Avichal as he explores essential security patterns and best practices for hardening your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters on AWS. He covers key areas like access control, networking, encryption, auditing, and vulnerability management - ensuring end-to-end security for your Kubernetes workloads. See practical examples for implementing robust access controls using role-based access (RBAC), least privilege policies, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) integration.
Discover networking tips like private cluster endpoints, encrypted pod traffic with network policies, and secure communication between microservices. Encrypt EKS persistent data using AWS Key Management Service (KMS) customer-managed keys and automate key rotation. We also show how to isolate and rotate Kubernetes secrets securely. For monitoring and auditing, enable CloudTrail logging and set alarms on suspicious activity. Plus, get best practices on vulnerability scanning for container images and worker nodes.
Whether using self-managed or managed node groups, these security patterns ensure regulatory compliance and align with AWS' shared responsibility model. Implement multi-layered security controls for your mission-critical AWS container workloads based on this comprehensive guidance!
