+## Objectives
+
+1.	[Create an account with appropriate permissions](#give-appropriate-permissions)
+
+	Create (or give an existing) user appropriate permissions to create an EKS cluster.
+
+2.	[Create an access key and secret key](#create-access-key-and-secret-key)
+
+	Create an access key and secret key to access Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources from Rancher.
+
+3. [Create the EKS Cluster](#create-the-eks-cluster)
+
+	Using the AWS account, create your Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) cluster in Rancher.
+
+## Give Appropriate Permissions
+
+Make sure that the account you will be using to create the EKS cluster has the appropriate permissions. Referring to the official [EKS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/IAM_policies.html) for details.
+
+## Create Access Key and Secret Key
+
+Use AWS to create an access key and client secret.
+
+1. In the AWS Console, go to the **IAM** service.
+
+2. Select **Users**.
+
+3. Find the user you wish to create the EKS cluster with. Select the user.
+
+4. Click **Security Credentials**.
+
+5. Click **Create access key**.
+
+6. Record the **Access key ID** and **Secret access key**. You will need to use these in Rancher to create your EKS cluster.
+
+## Create the EKS Cluster
+
+Use {{< product >}} to set up and configure your Kubernetes cluster.
+
+1. From the **Clusters** page, click **Add Cluster**.
+
+2. Choose **Amazon EKS**.
+
+3. Enter a **Cluster Name**.
+
+4. {{< step_create-cluster_member-roles >}}
+
+5. Enter your **Access Key**.
+
+6. Enter your **Secret Key**
+
+7. Click **Next: Authenticate & configure nodes**.
+
+8. Specify any additional options (such as instance type or minimum and maximum number of nodes). Then click **Create**.
