## Assumptions

- You have access to an [Amazon AWS account](https://aws.amazon.com/) with privileges to create an IAM Role with the default [Full IAM Policy](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/eks/full_iam_policy/) to allow provisioning of resources on your behalf as part of the EKS cluster lifecycle.
- You have installed and configured the [RCTL CLI](https://docs.rafay.co/cli/config/) so that you can perform the tasks with automation and declarative cluster specification files.
