+# Restricting cloud metadata API access
+
+Cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or GCP often expose metadata services locally to instances. By default, this endpoint is accessible by pods running on a cloud instance, including pods in hosted Kubernetes providers such as EKS, AKS or GKE, and can contain cloud credentials for that node, provisioning data such as kubelet credentials, or other sensitive data. To mitigate this risk when running on a cloud platform, follow the [Kubernetes security recommendations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/securing-a-cluster/#restricting-cloud-metadata-api-access): limit permissions given to instance credentials, use network policies to restrict pod access to the metadata API, and avoid using provisioning data to deliver secrets.
