AWS resilience-hub: Add EKS permissions setup pointer for dependency-blocking actions

Service: resilience-hub · 2026-10-01 · Documentation low

File: resilience-hub/latest/userguide/next-gen-resilience-testing-dependency-validation.md · Type: iam

Summary

Extends the additional-setup sentence for dependency-blocking FIS actions to direct Amazon EKS pod users to the (Optional) Resilience testing parts of the Amazon EKS permissions steps and the IAM permissions reference.

Security assessment

The change only appends a cross-reference to the IAM permissions/roles setup for EKS pods; it is security-adjacent IAM configuration guidance with no indication of a specific vulnerability being addressed.

Evidence

+The actions used to block dependencies require additional setup: SSM Agent installed on Amazon EC2 instances, an SSM Agent container in your Amazon ECS task definition, or a Kubernetes service account for Amazon EKS pods. For Amazon EKS pods, complete the **(Optional) Resilience testing** parts of the Amazon EKS permissions steps. For more information, see [Required IAM permissions and roles](./next-gen-iam-permissions.html).
