EKS requires aws-iam-authenticator

Thank you for your work on this function. 

We are using EKS cluster on AWS with AWS CodePipeline for CI/CD, I was looking to use lambda-kubectl for deploying changes to EKS after pushing image to ECR. 

But its unclear for me how the lambda-kubectl can communicate with EKS since it would require aws-iam-authenticator. Can you please advice? 

Thanks
