Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• Action required
  Controllers policy updated with missing KMS permissions required to use EKS encryption, if you are planning to use EKS encryption then you will need to update your controllers policy by running clusterawsadm bootstrap iam create-cloudformation-stack again. And then when you create a cluster with encryption enabled you will need to use a KMS key that has an alias name starting with cluster-api-provider-aws-. For further information see docs.
