The best solution to detect unauthenticated access to Amazon EKS clusters with the least operational effort is: D. Enable Amazon GuardDuty. Use EKS Audit Log Monitoring. Amazon GuardDuty provides comprehensive security monitoring for EKS clusters, including the ability to detect unauthenticated access attempts. It requires minimal configuration and integrates seamlessly with existing EKS deployments.

Option C (Monitor Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights metrics for Amazon EKS) is not the best choice for detecting unauthenticated access because: Limited Scope: CloudWatch Container Insights primarily focuses on performance metrics and operational health of the EKS clusters, such as CPU and memory usage, rather than security-specific events like unauthenticated access attempts. No Direct Detection: It does not provide direct detection or alerts for security incidents, including unauthorized access. You would need to set up additional custom metrics and alarms, which increases operational effort. In contrast, Amazon GuardDuty with EKS Audit Log Monitoring is specifically designed to detect and alert on security-related events, including unauthorized access, with minimal configuration required.

NOT C! CloudWatch Container Insights provides metrics and monitoring for performance but is not ideal for detecting unauthenticated access. It does not provide threat detection capabilities directly related to unauthorized attempts.

CloudWatch Container Insights can be a helpful part of detecting unauthenticated access attempts in an Amazon EKS cluster.

Unfortunately, my initial thought may not fit the question here as it would require installing the agent on the cluster.

Should be "D" per the information below AWS GuardDuty can meet the requirement of monitoring for unauthorized or suspicious access to your Amazon EKS cluster without requiring configuration changes to the EKS cluster itself. GuardDuty is designed to detect security threats across AWS services, including EKS, and operates independently of the cluster’s configuration, making it an ideal choice for monitoring without intrusively altering your setup.
