+## Background
+
+There is a new version of the EKS add-on $CLUSTER_ADDON. $CLUSTER_ADDON needs updating on the $CLUSTER cluster. When this issue was created, the latest supported add-on version for Kubernetes $CLUSTER_VERSION was $LATEST_SUPPORTED_ADDON_VERSION_FOR_KUBERNETES_VERSION.
+
+See the [Amazon EKS add-ons](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-add-ons.html) documentation for more information about addons, or find the latest versions for these EKS add-ons directly:
