AWS eks: Reformat EKS Auto Mode CLI prerequisites

Service: eks · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: eks/latest/userguide/automode-get-started-cli.md · Type: iam

Summary

Restructures the prerequisites list, moving the AWS CLI install/configure bullet and rewording the IAM permissions requirement to 'Sufficient IAM permissions to create AWS resources, including IAM policies, IAM roles, and EKS clusters.'

Security assessment

The change is editorial reorganization of prerequisites; the IAM permissions mention is generic setup guidance, not new security documentation or a vulnerability fix.

Evidence

  * Sufficient IAM permissions to create AWS resources, including IAM policies, IAM roles, and EKS clusters.
