Security & Testing

Hardens Amazon EKS clusters using 2025 security best practices for infrastructure, workloads, and secrets management.

About

The EKS Security skill provides comprehensive, multi-layered guidance for securing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) environments. It enables developers and DevOps engineers to implement a defense-in-depth strategy covering control plane security, workload isolation through Pod Security Standards, and zero-trust networking. By leveraging modern patterns like IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) and External Secrets Operator, this skill ensures that clusters are not only production-ready but also compliant with major frameworks like CIS, NIST, and SOC2.

Key Features

Automated secrets management with External Secrets Operator integration
Multi-layer security architecture from control plane to runtime
IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) least-privilege configuration
Zero-trust network policy and microsegmentation patterns
0 GitHub stars
Implementation of Restricted Pod Security Standards

Use Cases

Preparing for security compliance audits (CIS, NIST, SOC2)
Implementing real-time threat detection and image scanning
Hardening new EKS clusters for production deployment
