Overview

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Amazon EKS runs the Kubernetes management infrastructure for you across multiple AWS availability zones to eliminate a single point of failure. Amazon EKS is a certified Kubernetes conformant so you can use existing tooling and plugins from partners and the Kubernetes community. Applications running on any standard Kubernetes environment are fully compatible and can be easily migrated to Amazon EKS.

Mend Integration with EKS

Mend Kubernetes controller is a designated pod inside your EKS cluster. When installed, it scans the entire cluster as a baseline for future changes and shows the full picture of libraries, images, alert, vulnerabilities, and licenses in your Mend portal. This pod then tracks changes in the cluster (for example, a new deployment or image modification), scans the container images and reports cluster security-related information, such as vulnerabilities per pod.
