+          To minimize AWS ECR container registries to only those approved, you can follow these steps:
+
+          1.  Define your approval criteria: Determine the criteria that containers must meet to
+              be considered approved. This can include factors such as security, compliance,
+              compatibility, and other requirements.
+          2.  Identify all existing ECR registries: Identify all ECR registries that are currently
+              being used in your organization.
+          3.  Evaluate ECR registries against approval criteria: Evaluate each ECR registry
+              against your approval criteria to determine whether it should be approved or not.
+              This can be done by reviewing the registry settings and configuration, as well as
+              conducting security assessments and vulnerability scans.
+          4.  Establish policies and procedures: Establish policies and procedures that outline
+              how ECR registries will be approved, maintained, and monitored. This should
+              include guidelines for developers to follow when selecting a registry for their
+              container images.
+          5.  Implement access controls: Implement access controls to ensure that only
+              approved ECR registries are used to store and distribute container images. This
+              can be done by setting up IAM policies and roles that restrict access to
+              unapproved registries or create a whitelist of approved registries.
+          6.  Monitor and review: Continuously monitor and review the use of ECR registries
+              to ensure that they continue to meet your approval criteria. This can include

+          With IAM roles for service accounts on Amazon EKS clusters, you can associate an
+          IAM role with a Kubernetes service account. This service account can then provide
+          AWS permissions to the containers in any pod that uses that service account. With this
+          feature, you no longer need to provide extended permissions to the worker node IAM
+          role so that pods on that node can call AWS APIs.
+          Applications must sign their AWS API requests with AWS credentials. This feature
+          provides a strategy for managing credentials for your applications, similar to the way
+          that Amazon EC2 instance profiles provide credentials to Amazon EC2 instances.
+          Instead of creating and distributing your AWS credentials to the containers or using the
+          Amazon EC2 instance’s role, you can associate an IAM role with a Kubernetes service
+          account. The applications in the pod’s containers can then use an AWS SDK or the
+          AWS CLI to make API requests to authorized AWS services.
+
+          The IAM roles for service accounts feature provides the following benefits:
+
+          - Least privilege - By using the IAM roles for service accounts feature, you no
+            longer need to provide extended permissions to the worker node IAM role so that
+            pods on that node can call AWS APIs. You can scope IAM permissions to a
+            service account, and only pods that use that service account have access to
+            those permissions. This feature also eliminates the need for third-party solutions
+            such as kiam or kube2iam.
+          - Credential isolation - A container can only retrieve credentials for the IAM role
+            that is associated with the service account to which it belongs. A container never
+            has access to credentials that are intended for another container that belongs to
+            another pod.
+          - Audit-ability - Access and event logging is available through CloudTrail to help
+            ensure retrospective auditing.

+          By enabling private endpoint access to the Kubernetes API server, all communication
+          between your nodes and the API server stays within your VPC. You can also limit the IP
+          addresses that can access your API server from the internet, or completely disable
+          internet access to the API server.
+          With this in mind, you can update your cluster accordingly using the AWS CLI to ensure
+          that Private Endpoint Access is enabled.
+          If you choose to also enable Public Endpoint Access then you should also configure a
+          list of allowable CIDR blocks, resulting in restricted access from the internet. If you
+          specify no CIDR blocks, then the public API server endpoint is able to receive and
+          process requests from all IP addresses by defaulting to ['0.0.0.0/0'].
+          For example, the following command would enable private access to the Kubernetes
+          API as well as limited public access over the internet from a single IP address (noting
+          the /32 CIDR suffix):
+          aws eks update-cluster-config --region $AWS_REGION --name $CLUSTER_NAME --resources-vpc-config endpointPrivateAccess=true,endpointPrivateAccess=true,publicAccessCidrs="203.0.113.5/32"
+
+          Note: The CIDR blocks specified cannot include reserved addresses.
+          There is a maximum number of CIDR blocks that you can specify. For more information,
+          see the EKS Service Quotas link in the references section.

+        remediation: |
+          Remediation Method 1:
+          If configuring via the Kubelet config file, you first need to locate the file.
+          To do this, SSH to each node and execute the following command to find the kubelet
+          process:
+
+            ps -ef | grep kubelet
+
+          The output of the above command provides details of the active kubelet process, from
+          which we can see the location of the configuration file provided to the kubelet service
+          with the --config argument. The file can be viewed with a command such as more or
+          less, like so:
+
+            sudo less /path/to/kubelet-config.json
+
+          Configure the client certificate authority file by setting the following parameter
+          appropriately:
+
+            "authentication": { "x509": {"clientCAFile": <path/to/client-ca-file> } }"
+
+          Remediation Method 2:
+          If using executable arguments, edit the kubelet service file on each worker node and
+          ensure the below parameters are part of the KUBELET_ARGS variable string.
+          For systems using systemd, such as the Amazon EKS Optimised Amazon Linux or
+          Bottlerocket AMIs, then this file can be found at
+          /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubelet-args.conf. Otherwise,
+          you may need to look up documentation for your chosen operating system to determine
+          which service manager is configured:
+
+            --client-ca-file=<path/to/client-ca-file>
+
+          For Both Remediation Steps:
+          Based on your system, restart the kubelet service and check the service status.
+          The following example is for operating systems using systemd, such as the Amazon
+          EKS Optimised Amazon Linux or Bottlerocket AMIs, and invokes the systemctl
+          command. If systemctl is not available then you will need to look up documentation for
+          your chosen operating system to determine which service manager is configured:
+
+            systemctl daemon-reload
+            systemctl restart kubelet.service
