- 7The New Stack·8/19/2026securityAWS deprecates legacy EKS auth method, but most clusters still use it
AWS has deprecated the legacy aws-auth ConfigMap in Amazon EKS in favor of a newer API-driven access control approach. The article cites a 2025 report saying 81% of EKS clusters still run the older method, highlighting a widespread security and migration gap. It also argues that Kubernetes security is often harder than teams expect, especially at the container and cluster layers.
- 5The New Stack·7/17/2026framework_updateLessons from running Kubernetes controllers at scale
The article explains how Kubernetes controllers turn declarative intent into enforced state, and why that becomes harder at large scale when caches lag, objects churn, and correctness depends on a full system view. It focuses on two Amazon EKS controllers: the Network Policy Controller for in-cluster traffic enforcement and the VPC Resource Controller for assigning AWS security groups to selected pods.
