Amazon EKS adds native support for the AWS Secrets Store CSI Driver Provider

AWS has released a new EKS Add-on that makes it easier to securely fetch secrets from AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store and mount them directly into Kubernetes pods — without custom plugins or manual setups.

🔐 Why this matters

  • Centralized & secure secrets management
  • Seamless integration with EKS Add-ons
  • Mount secrets as files inside pods
  • Reduced operational overhead

Available in all AWS Regions & GovCloud

Great update for teams running workloads on EKS and looking to streamline secure secret delivery across clusters.
