Ensure EKS Cluster only allows inbound connectivity on port 443

For all inbound communication to your EKS cluster, this should be limited to only allow traffic on port 443 to ensure SSL encryption. For this reason it is considered a security best practice to not only allow inbound access on this port. Ensuring that it is restricted will help you with PCI-DSS Compliance.
