Dilshan discusses a real incident where migrating EKS nodes to AL2023 caused the cluster autoscaler to lose AWS permissions silently.

You will learn:

- Why AL2023 blocks pod access to instance metadata by default, breaking components that relied on node IAM roles
- How to implement IRSA correctly by configuring IAM roles, Kubernetes service accounts, and OIDC trust relationships, and why both AWS IAM and Kubernetes RBAC must be configured independently
- How to audit which pods currently rely on node roles and clean up legacy IAM permissions to reduce attack surface after migration

John Howard, Senior Software Engineer at Solo.io, explains what Mutual TLS (mTLS) is and its importance in Kubernetes environments.

This two-way authentication is valuable in Kubernetes infrastructure, allowing workload-to-workload traffic to be properly authenticated. John illustrates how in a front-end to back-end scenario, the front-end service would present its own certificate to the back-end, enabling verification of identity and origin - a fundamental component for implementing zero-trust security in Kubernetes clusters.
