Amazon EKS

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. With EKS, developers can run Kubernetes clusters without the need for manual provisioning or management of infrastructure, allowing them to focus on building and deploying applications. EKS integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, providing features such as auto-scaling, monitoring, logging, and security, to ensure high availability and reliability for mission-critical workloads.

DevSecOps teams prefer using Pomerium's Ingress Controller for securing Kubernetes workloads. This is compared to the alternative methods requiring per-app secrets, inconsistent permissions, and management burdens managing authentication/authorization flows.

Teams want to minimize the risk of misconfigurations by using the Pomerium for centralized authentication and authorization enforcement.

This is in addition to the baseline benefits that Pomerium brings to any deployment:

• Better with clientless access

• Faster by being deployed at edge

• Safer through continuous verification

• Context-aware when integrating institutionally relevant data sources
