  name: Enable CloudTrail Logging for Kubernetes API Calls
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure that CloudTrail logging is enabled for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters in order to record all Kubernetes API calls. Amazon CloudTrail records and documents all activities performed on EKS clusters.
  impact: |
    Without CloudTrail logging enabled, there is no audit trail of API calls made to EKS clusters, making it difficult to track unauthorized access, investigate security incidents, and maintain compliance.
  remediation: |
    Enable CloudTrail logging for your EKS clusters by either starting logging on existing trails or creating a new multi-region trail if none exists.
