Question
Can Defender be embedded in AWS EKS Fargate workloads?
Environment
- Prisma Cloud Compute - Self_hosted
- AWS Fargate
- AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
- App-Embedded Defender
Answer
Yes, there is a way you can make the Defender deployment work for EKS on Fargate deployment.
- The correct way to do that would be by the use of App-Embedded Defenders
- To secure a container, you can embed the App-Embedded Defender into it
- You can embed App-Embedded Defenders with the Console UI, twistcli, or Prisma Cloud API. App-Embedded Defender has been tested on Azure Container Instances, Google Cloud Run, and Fargate on EKS
Additional Information
The App-Embedded Defenders are slightly different from App-Embedded Defenders for Fargate such that the deployment of EKS on a Fargate instance scenario is not supported in the latter.
