In this post, we explore how KubeArmor, an open source container-aware security enforcement system, enhances the security posture of containerized workloads running on EKS Auto Mode clusters. Although EKS Auto Mode significantly streamlines cluster management by automating control plane and node operations, securing the workloads running within the cluster remains a critical user responsibility.

In this post, we explore how to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere, supported by HashiCorp Vault PKI, to facilitate joining EKS Hybrid Nodes to an Amazon EKS Cluster. This solution enables businesses to flexibly make use of compute resources outside of AWS by extending an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) data plane beyond the AWS Cloud boundary, addressing use cases focused on data sovereignty, low latency communication, and regulatory compliance.

In this post, we dive deep into cluster networking configurations for Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes, exploring different Container Network Interface (CNI) options and load balancing solutions to meet various networking requirements. The post demonstrates how to implement BGP routing with Cilium CNI, static routing with Calico CNI, and set up both on-premises load balancing using MetalLB and external load balancing using AWS Load Balancer Controller.
