+#### Amazon EKS Credentials
+
+On Amazon EKS by default the authentication method is IAM.  When running kubectl a temporary token is generated by shelling out to 
+the aws-iam-authenticator binary which is sent to authenticate the user.  
+See [aws-iam-authenticator](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-iam-authenticator).
+To replicate that functionality, the `Kubeclient::AmazonEksCredentials` class can accept a set of IAM credentials and
+contains a helper method to generate the authentication token for you.
+
+This requires a set of gems which are _not_ included in
+`kubeclient` dependencies (`aws-sigv4`) so you should add them to your bundle.
+You will also require either the `aws-sdk` v2 or `aws-sdk-core` v3 gems to generate the required `Aws:Credentials` object to pass to this method.
+
+To obtain a token:
+
+```ruby
+require 'aws-sdk-core' 
+# Use keys
+credentials = Aws::Credentials.new(access_key, secret_key)
+# Or a profile
+credentials = Aws::SharedCredentials.new(profile_name: 'default').credentials
+
+auth_options = {
+  bearer_token: Kubeclient::AmazonEksCredentials.token(credentials, eks_cluster_name)
+}
+client = Kubeclient::Client.new(
+  eks_cluster_https_endpoint, 'v1', auth_options: auth_options
+)
+```
+
+Note that this returns a token good for one minute. If your code requires authorization for longer than that, you should plan to
+acquire a new one, see [How to manually renew](#how-to-manually-renew-expired-credentials) section.
