[Amazon VPC Container Networking Interface (CNI) Plugin](https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s) version 1.6 is now available for use by Kubernetes clusters running on AWS.
Version 1.6 of the open source Amazon VPC CNI plugin includes a new MINIMUM\_IP\_TARGET parameter that can be used to reduce pod start time while minimizing IP addresses allocated to nodes. Support for peered VPCs is improved with a new parameter AWS\_VPC\_K8S\_CNI\_EXCLUDE\_SNAT\_CIDRS that allows CIDR ranges to be excluded from Source Network Address Translation (SNAT). Additionally, v1.6 includes a number of bug fixes around ENI allocation and EC2 API call rates to improve overall reliability and performance.
To learn more, see the [Amazon VPC CNI v1.6 release notes on GitHub](https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/releases/tag/v1.6.0). You can upgrade existing clusters to use version 1.6 by following the instructions in the [Amazon EKS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/cni-upgrades.html). As we confirm stability, VPC CNI v1.6 will be set as the default for new Kubernetes clusters launched by Amazon EKS.
