+# Setting up an Amazon Web Services EKS cluster
+
+## Create EKS Instance
+
+Create your EKS instance using the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html).
+
+## Ensure VPC CNI 1.2 is Running
+
+EKS does not use the normal Kubernetes networking since it is [incompatible with Amazon VPC networking](https://www.contino.io/insights/kubernetes-is-hard-why-eks-makes-it-easier-for-network-and-security-architects). 
+
+In a console, run this command to get your current cni version
+
+```bash
+kubectl describe daemonset aws-node --namespace kube-system | grep Image | cut -d "/" -f 2
+```
+Output should be `amazon-k8s-cni:1.2.0` or newer. To upgrade to version 1.2, run the following command.
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/master/config/v1.2/aws-k8s-cni.yaml
+```

 # Setting up an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cluster
 
 Follow these steps to create a cluster and install Agones directly on [Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) ](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/).
