New AWS whitepaper: Security Overview of Amazon EKS Auto Mode

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has released a new whitepaper: Security Overview of Amazon EKS Auto Mode, providing customers with an in-depth look at the architecture, built-in security features, and capabilities of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Auto Mode.

The whitepaper covers the core security principles of Amazon EKS Auto Mode, highlighting its unique approach to managing Kubernetes clusters. This includes how AWS has reimagined node management by building on top of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) managed instances, which introduces a new way for customers to delegate operational control of EC2 instances to an AWS service.

Designed for cloud architects, security professionals, and Kubernetes practitioners, the whitepaper serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the security architecture of Amazon EKS Auto Mode. It represents the AWS commitment to providing secure, manageable, and innovative Kubernetes infrastructure solutions that minimize undifferentiated heavy lifting, so that customers can focus more on application development and less on infrastructure management.
