# The Amazon EKS cloud and Juju This document describes details specific to using your existing Amazon EKS cloud with Juju. > See more: [Amazon EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/index.html) When using this cloud with Juju, it is important to keep in mind that it is a (1) Kubernetes cloud and (2) not some other cloud. > See more: [Cloud differences](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/juju/2.9/reference/cloud.md#cloud-differences) As the differences related to (1) are already documented generically in the rest of the docs, here we record just those that follow from (2). ## Notes on `add-k8s` Starting with Juju 3.0, because of the fact that the `juju` client snap is strictly confined but the EKS cloud CLI snap is not, you must run the `add-k8s` command with the ‘raw’ client. See note in [Add a Kubernetes cloud](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/juju/2.9/howto/manage-clouds.md#add-a-kubernetes-cloud).
