Snyk Controller for Amazon EKS
Import and test EKS workloads to identify security vulnerabilities
Snyk controller for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) lets you import and test your running EKS workloads to identify vulnerabilities in associated images and configurations that might make workloads less secure. As new images are deployed and workload configurations change, Snyk continually monitors workloads to identify security issues.
This Quick Start is for developers, DevOps, security teams, and roles within an organization for building, deploying, and maintaining Amazon EKS applications.
This Quick Start was developed by Snyk in partnership with AWS. Snyk is an AWS Partner.

Use this Quick Start to set up the following Snyk controller for Amazon EKS. Note that this module is based on the Modular and Scalable Amazon EKS Architecture Quick Start.
- A Kubernetes namespace for Snyk.
- A Kubernetes secret that contains a Snyk integration ID and Docker configuration file.
- A Snyk monitor pod.
* The template that deploys the Quick Start into an existing VPC skips the tasks marked by asterisks and prompts you for your existing VPC configuration.

To build Snyk Controller for Amazon EKS, follow the instructions in the deployment guide. The deployment process takes about 1.5 hours and includes these steps:
- If you don't already have an AWS account, sign up at https://aws.amazon.com.
- Prepare an existing EKS cluster.
- Retrieve a Snyk Kubernetes integration ID.
- Launch the Quick Start.
- Deploy into a new VPC and new Amazon EKS cluster
- Deploy into a new Amazon EKS cluster in an existing VPC
- Deploy into an existing Amazon EKS cluster (This option might require you to prepare your cluster according to the instructions in the deployment guide. For more information, see Prepare an existing cluster.)
- Test the deployment.
Amazon may share user-deployment information with the AWS Partner that collaborated with AWS on the Quick Start.
