Runs checks to see if an EKS cluster follows EKS Best Practices.

Quick Start:

python3 -m venv /tmp/.venv
source /tmp/.venv/bin/activate
pip install hardeneks
hardeneks

alt text

Usage:

hardeneks [OPTIONS]

Options:

  • --region TEXT: AWS region of the cluster. Ex: us-east-1
  • --context TEXT: K8s context
  • --cluster TEXT: EKS Cluster name
  • --namespace TEXT: Namespace to be checked (default is all namespaces)
  • --config TEXT: Path to a hardeneks config file
  • --help: Show this message and exit.
  • K8S_CONTEXT

    You can get the contexts by running:

    kubectl config get-contexts
    

    or get the current context by running:

    kubectl config current-context
    
  • CLUSTER_NAME

    You can get the cluster names by running:

    aws eks list-clusters --region us-east-1
    

Configuration File:

Default behavior is to run all the checks. If you want to provide your own config file to specify list of rules to run, you can use the --config flag.You can also add namespaces to be skipped.

Following is a sample config file:

  - kube-node-lease
