What a default EKS cluster misses.
A cluster can be running and still lack clear boundaries, accountable access and useful incident evidence.
Review the operating boundary
- Map IAM, Kubernetes RBAC and break-glass access.
- Check workload identity and namespace boundaries.
- Review network policy and admission controls.
- Test whether logs, metrics and audit events answer an incident question.
- Record owners and a prioritised fix list.
Do not treat a benchmark score as the outcome. The useful output is a ranked set of changes your team can approve and operate.
