Restrict minimum EC2/EKS IAM policies by resource

Open RobertLucian opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Description

As it is described in https://docs.cortex.dev/clusters/management/auth#minimum-iam-policy, the current minimum IAM policy is to grant the cortex CLI (and by that extension to eskctl) full control over the EC2/EKS services.

Motivation

These should be restricted to a resource-based policy that would limit what an IAM role/user can do. This is especially helpful in bigger corporations where there are more than a handful of developers and the company's policy on what access its devs have is more stringent.

Additional context

This seems to be blocked on what eksctl requires: https://eksctl.io/usage/minimum-iam-policies/. Talk to the eksctl team to see if there's a way to further reduce the IAM policy requirements.
