Read a given configuration file for a list of data sources (called \"scanners\").\n2. Read the data sources for all the available auth mappings, and join the results.\n3. Update the auth mappings in your EKS cluster.\n\n## Download\n\nYou can download the latest binary release from the [Gitlab releases page](https://gitlab.com/polarsquad/eks-auth-sync/-/releases).\nDocker images for the tool are available in the [Gitlab container registry](https://gitlab.com/polarsquad/eks-auth-sync/container_registry).\n\n## Usage\n\nThe `eks-auth-sync` tool accepts the following parameters:\n\n* `-config string`:\n  Path to the YAML configuration file.\n  Set to `-` to read the config from STDIN.\n  See section below for more details on the configuration structure. \n* `-commit`:\n  If enabled, the scanned results will be committed to EKS.\n  Otherwise, they'll be printed to STDOUT instead.\n* `-version`:\n  Print the version information.\n\n## Documentation\n\n* [Configuration](docs/configuration.md)\n* Reading mappings\n  * [Directly from configuration](docs/static.md)\n  * [Files on disk](docs/file.md)\n  * [IAM](docs/iam.md)\n  * [SSM](docs/ssm.md)\n* Deployment\n  * [CronJob](docs/cronjob.md)\n* [Development](docs/development.md)\n\n## License\n\nApache 2.0.
