AWS Batch on Amazon EKS adds Linux capabilities, seccomp, and pod-level settings
News
AWS Batch now supports additional Kubernetes security context settings in Amazon EKS job definitions, enabling fine-grained security controls.
- Configure Linux capabilities and seccomp profiles at container level via securityContext
- Set pod-wide security settings like fsGroup using podProperties securityContext
- Container-level settings override pod-level defaults for flexible configuration
- Run jobs with only required privileges and system calls for restricted Pod Security Standards
- Configure through AWS Management Console, CLI, SDKs, or CloudFormation
- Available in all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is supported
These enhancements enable AWS Batch users to enforce stricter security policies on Amazon EKS clusters while maintaining operational flexibility.
