Snyk Controller for Amazon EKS
Import and test EKS workloads to identify security vulnerabilities
This Partner Solution deploys Snyk controller for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It lets you import and test 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 Partner Solution is for developers, DevOps, security teams, and roles within an organization for building, deploying, and maintaining Amazon EKS applications.

This Partner Solution was developed by Snyk in collaboration with AWS. Snyk is an AWS Partner.

This Partner Solution requires a Snyk license. For more information, refer to Snyk’s AWS Marketplace page.
You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services and any third-party licenses used while running this solution. There is no additional cost for using the solution.
This solution includes configuration parameters that you can customize. Some of these settings, such as instance type, affect the cost of deployment. For cost estimates, refer to the pricing pages for each AWS service you use. Prices are subject to change.
Tip: After you deploy a solution, create AWS Cost and Usage Reports to track associated costs. These reports deliver billing metrics to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket in your account. They provide cost estimates based on usage throughout each month and aggregate the data at the end of the month. For more information, refer to What are AWS Cost and Usage Reports?
