The AWS IAM charm allows a Kubernetes cluster to be authenticated via the Amazon
API using AWS users and groups. The authorization falls to RBAC, so an Amazon
user or group maps to an RBAC user.

## Usage

The AWS IAM charm is subordinate to the [`kubernetes-control-plane`](https://charmhub.io/kubernetes-control-plane)
charm and needs to be related to it. It will then set the Kubernetes API server
to authenticate through the AWS IAM pod deployed inside the cluster.

```
juju deploy aws-iam
juju deploy charmed-kubernetes
juju add-relation aws-iam kubernetes-control-plane
```
