Introduction: As organizations increasingly adopt Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) for deploying containerized applications, securing the EKS environment is crucial. This document outlines a comprehensive security solution for EKS clusters.
Security Objectives
1. Restrict Unauthorized Access to EKS nodes, pods, and services.
2. Monitor and Detect Threats with AWS GuardDuty configured for EKS-specific threat detection.
3. Lock Down Node Configurations to ensure only required permissions and access levels.
4. Apply Least-Privilege Principles to pods, services, and IAM roles associated with EKS.
5. Implement Network Segmentation and Security Groups to restrict inbound/outbound traffic.
