Hardeneks

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

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
• --export-txt TEXT: Export the report in txt format
• --export-csv TEXT: Export the report in csv format
• --export-html TEXT: Export the report in html format
• --export-json TEXT: Export the report in json format
• --export-security-hub: Export failed checks to AWS Security Hub
• --insecure-skip-tls-verify: Skip TLS verification
• --width: Width of the output (defaults to terminal size)
• --height: Height of the output (defaults to terminal size)
• --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

RBAC

In order to run hardeneks we need to have some permissions both on AWS side and k8s side.
