Connect Akto with AWS EKS
Learn about how to send API traffic data using AWS EKS to Akto from your environment.
Akto needs your staging, production or other environment's traffic to Discover APIs and analyze for AP misconfiguration. It does so by connecting to one of your traffic sources. One such source is AWS EKS.
Follow these steps to add daemonset config to your Kubernetes setup -
1. Go to Quick Start on your Akto dashboard and expand the
Connect traffic data
section.
2. Scroll down to
Kubernetes Daemonset
section.
1. Copy the
policy json
and click on the Akto Dashboard role link. 
2.
Click
on the JSON
tab and paste the policy

3. Click on
Review policy
button.
4. Enter
AktoDashboardPolicy
as the policy name and click
on Create Policy
button
7. Once the policy is created, go back to the
dashboard
.
1. You should now see a
Setup daemonset stack
button. Click
on this button to setup a traffic processing stack. This will process your API traffic data and populate APIs on the dashboard. This might take a few minutes to complete.

2. Once complete, you should now see a daemonset config.
Copy the config
and paste in a text editor
.
3. Replace
{NAMESPACE}
with your app namespace and {APP_NAME}
with the name of your app
4. Create a file
akto-daemonset-config.yaml
with the above YAML config
5. Call
kubectl apply -f akto-daemonset-config.yaml -n <NAMESPACE>
on your kubectl terminal
6. Run the command
kubectl get daemonsets
in terminal. It should show akto-k8s daemonset.
7. Go to
API Inventory
on Akto dashboard to see your new APIs
Akto is Open Source and if you find any issues or traffic connectors you don't see in the list, you can create an issue in our open source repo here.
You can now go to your API Inventory to see all the API traffic Akto has captured. Head to API Inventory to learn more. Once you start seeing inventory, you can run API Security tests on your APIs. See Akto's test library to select tests you want to run on your APIs.
