What problem does it solve?

EKS cluster reconnaissance turns uncertain, scattered cluster details into a clear inventory so engineers can make safe upgrade, migration, and architecture decisions with full context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cluster environment discovery: Detects compute strategy (Karpenter, Managed Node Groups, Auto Mode, Fargate, self-managed) and core platform configuration.
  • Operational intelligence for decisions: Identifies IaC tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, eksctl), CI/CD and GitOps setup (GitHub Actions, GitLab, ArgoCD, Flux), add-ons, networking, security posture, storage, observability, and workloads.
  • Read-first orchestration: Produces a comprehensive, structured reconnaissance report (with evidence) without performing any cluster modifications.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run full EKS reconnaissance for cluster my-cluster in us-west-2 and generate a .eks-recon-report.yaml summary report.
