     3  - **Feature status:** Stable
     4  - **Feature gate (required):** EKS=true

     7  ## Overview
     8  
     9  The AWS provider supports creating EKS based cluster. Currently the following features are supported:
    10  
    11  - Provisioning/managing an Amazon EKS Cluster
    12  - Upgrading the Kubernetes version of the EKS Cluster
    13  - Attaching a self-managed machines as nodes to the EKS cluster
    14  - Creating a machine pool and attaching it to the EKS cluster. See [machine pool docs for details](../machinepools.md).
    15  - Creating a managed machine pool and attaching it to the EKS cluster. See [machine pool docs for details](../machinepools.md)
    16  - Managing "EKS Addons". See [addons for further details](./addons.md)
    17  - Creating an EKS fargate profile
    18  - Managing aws-iam-authenticator configuration
    19  
    20  Note: machine pools and fargate profiles are still classed as experimental.
    21  
    22  The implementation introduces the following CRD kinds:
    23  
    24  - AWSManagedControlPlane - specifies the EKS Cluster in AWS and used by the Cluster API AWS Managed Control plane (MACP)
    25  - AWSManagedMachinePool - defines the managed node pool for the cluster
    26  - EKSConfig - used by Cluster API bootstrap provider EKS (CABPE)
    27  
    28  And a number of new templates are available in the templates folder for creating a managed workload cluster.
