+++ title = "Workshop Module 3: Managing GRC for K8s on EKS" chapter = true weight = 30 +++ # Welcome to Managing governance, risk and compliance for Kubernetes on EKS Accelerate your journey to production ready Kubernetes on EKS by learning the practical techniques for reliably operating your software lifecycle using GitOps. In this virtual workshop the Weaveworks team will be sharing their expertise as users and contributors to Kubernetes and Prometheus, as well as pioneers of GitOps (operations by pull request). This workshops goes deep on the following topics:Using a combination of instructor led demonstrations and hands-on exercises, the workshop will enable the attendee to go into detail on the following topics: * How to utilize IAM to configure RBAC and access control * How to create, assign and test IAM roles for AWS service accounts * How to deploy open policy agent * How to write simple and effective rego policies to achieve compliance Need help in getting started with EKS? Sign up for our [EKS + GitOps Quickstart package](https://www.weave.works/eks-gitops-quickstart/). ## GitOps - an operating model for cloud native * An operating model for Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies, providing a set of best practices that unify deployment, management and monitoring for containerized clusters and applications. * A path towards a developer experience for managing applications; where end-to-end CICD pipelines and git workflows are applied to both operations, and development.  ## Weaveworks Weaveworks makes it fast and simple for developers and DevOps teams to build and operate powerful containerized applications. We minimize the complexity of operating workloads in Kubernetes by providing automated continuous delivery pipelines, observability and monitoring. Weaveworks’ mission is to minimize complexities in operating workloads and provide a developer centric operating model for cloud native applications. Our goal is to drive cloud native transformation for your developers and portability, flexibility, choice and stability for your business. One of the first members of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Weaveworks also contributes to several open source projects, including [Weave Net](https://www.weave.works/oss/net/), [Weave Scope](https://www.weave.works/oss/scope/), [Weave Cortex](https://www.weave.works/oss/cortex/), [Weave Flux](https://www.weave.works/oss/flux/), [Firekube](https://www.weave.works/oss/firekube/) and [Flagger](https://www.weave.works/oss/flagger/). ## Weaveworks and AWS Weaveworks is an [APN Advanced Technology Partner](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/find/partnerdetails/?n=Weaveworks&id=001E000001ImwwVIAR) and AWS Containers Competency Partner.
