HAQM EKS is now FedRAMP-High Compliant

HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters running in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions are now compliant with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High baseline.

HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes cluster. HAQM EKS is certified Kubernetes conformant, so you can leverage all benefits of open source tooling from the community and you can easily migrate existing Kubernetes applications running on upstream Kubernetes to EKS without needing to refactor your code.

With FedRAMP-High compliance, customers that operate under FedRAMP guidelines can use HAQM EKS to run their Kubernetes clusters in both AWS GovCloud (US) regions using the HAQM EC2 compute type.

The security and compliance of HAQM EKS is assessed as part of multiple AWS compliance programs. In addition to FedRAMP High and Moderate baselines, HAQM EKS is compliant with SOC, IRAP, K-ISMS, ENS High, OSPAR, HITRUST CSF, and is a HIPAA eligible service.
