Describe the bug
There is a procedure to install aws-iam-authenticator in the runbook for EKS, but this step can be removed because aws-iam-authenticator is not required in the current version of AWS CLI.
The Linux procedure installs AWS CLI v2, so aws-iam-authenticator is not required.
On the other hand, the Windows procedure does not include a step to install AWS CLI v2, so it is a good idea to add a step to install AWS CLI v2.
Server (if applicable, please complete the following information):
Environment: Amazon EKS
Additional context
If you're running the AWS CLI version 1.16.156 or later, then you don't need to install the authenticator. Instead, you can use the aws eks get-token command. For more information, see Create kubeconfig file manually.
