Enhance Amazon EKS network security posture with DNS and admin network policies

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the availability of DNS-based and Admin network policies for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Auto mode and Admin network policies for both EKS Auto mode and EKS on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), providing enhanced capabilities to secure network traffic both within your clusters and to external endpoints. In this post, we explore practical use cases that demonstrate how these policies solve real-world challenges and remove the need to rely on third-party software across different deployment scenarios, from securing access to external services to hybrid cloud integration and multi-tenant environments.
