Kubernetes subject matter expert Chimbu Chinnadurai demonstrates how to implement direct IAM access for pods in Amazon EKS.

Chimbu covers:

➡️ EKS Pod Identities vs. IAM roles for service accounts
➡️ Benefits of using EKS Pod Identities
➡️ Step-by-step guide to setting up EKS Pod Identities
➡️ How to configure pod identity associations
➡️ Best practices for securing access to AWS services from EKS pods

Original question was "We've recently moved fully into EKS thanks to a lot of terraform, quite interested in using AWS IAM profiles directly from the pods but not sure about the best way to do so."

This clip comes from a live Q&A we did on EKS and Kubernetes on AWS. Check out the other answers to questions asked in the playlist here:
