Customer-Managed VPC

Use this stripped down, minimal IAM Policy if you have pre-existing AWS resources that you need to use for the Amazon EKS Cluster. With this policy example, the customer is expected to create and provide references to the following:

• VPCs
• Subnets
• Route Table
• Internet Gateway
• NatGateway
