Hey Michael, nice work.

I will give a try on this one and let you know.

There is the following remark on the awsiam-authenticator from AWS documentation that will probably require a small update on your document:

 

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 manually.
