**Tell us about your request**
I'd like all artifacts created for EKS to have a secure SBOM generated so we can track the content of them. The SBOM should probably be in a number of formats but the [OpenSSF](https://openssf.org/) [SPDX](https://spdx.dev/) format would be essential.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS.

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
I'd like to be able to validate and review the SBOM for EKS artifacts.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
n/a

**Additional context**
This is related to https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/43 for storing container image SBOMs in ECR.
