Step 1: Understanding Lambda Permissions and AWS Config

The custom AWS Config rule evaluates resources and invokes an AWS Lambda function when a compliance check is triggered. For AWS Config to invoke the Lambda function, it requires permission to do so.

Issue: The Lambda function fails to execute because AWS Config doesn ' t have permission to invoke it.

Action: Modify the resource-based policy of the Lambda function to grant AWS Config permission to invoke the Lambda function.

Why: Without this permission, AWS Config cannot trigger the Lambda function, which is why the evaluation fails.

Container restart failures require detailed observability into pod-level, node-level, and container-level metrics and logs. CloudWatch Container Insights is purpose-built for Kubernetes operational diagnostics and provides granular visibility into CPU, memory, network I/O, disk I/O, container restarts, OOM kills, throttling, pod lifecycle issues, and Kubernetes control plane behaviors.

The CloudWatch Observability add-on deploys Fluent Bit and the CloudWatch Agent directly into the EKS cluster as DaemonSets. These components automatically collect:

Container logs

Pod metrics

Node metrics

Cluster events

OOM errors

CrashLoopBackOff restart cycles

Control plane request anomalies

With this data, the DevOps engineer can easily identify misconfigurations, resource bottlenecks, unhealthy nodes, failing containers, or image pull issues.

Option A (dashboards only) lacks per-container diagnostic data.

Option B (CloudTrail) only logs API calls — not useful for restart debugging.

Option C (CloudTrail Insights) only detects anomalous API usage, not container failures.

Therefore, CloudWatch Container Insights is the correct and AWS-recommended solution for diagnosing container restart failures in EKS.
