Enable EKS control plane logging

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

out=$(aws eks describe-cluster --name "${EKS_CLUSTER:?set EKS_CLUSTER}" --query 'cluster.logging.clusterLogging[?enabled==`true`].types[]' --output text) || exit 1
ok=1
for t in api audit authenticator controllerManager scheduler; do
  printf '%s\n' $out | grep -qx "$t" || { echo "noncompliant: $t logging disabled"; ok=0; }
done
if [ "$ok" -eq 1 ]; then echo compliant; fi

Expected output

compliant
