**HardenEKS: A Tool for Secure and Compliant AWS EKS Clusters**

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced HardenEKS, an open-source Python tool that helps users ensure their Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters are secure and compliant with best practices. HardenEKS is a programmable validation tool that assesses compliance with the AWS EKS Best Practices Guide.

The tool provides several benefits, including:

* Automated validation of cluster configurations
* Support for JSON output for automated validation
* Customizable checks through configuration files
* A publicly accessible roadmap outlining planned features

HardenEKS aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the AWS EKS Best Practices Guide and invites users to contribute to its development.
