 This is useful if you want to authenticate as an IAM user directly or if you want to authenticate using an EC2 instance role or a federated role.
 
 ## Kops Usage
-Clusters managed by [Kops](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops) can be configured to use Authenticator.
-Both single and HA master cluster configurations are supported.
-Perform the following steps to setup Authenticator on a Kops cluster:
-1. Pre-generate the certificate, key, and kubeconfig and upload them to the kops state store.
-   ```
-   aws-iam-authenticator init -i $CLUSTER_NAME
-   aws s3 cp cert.pem ${KOPS_STATE_STORE}/${CLUSTER_NAME}/addons/authenticator/cert.pem;
-   aws s3 cp key.pem ${KOPS_STATE_STORE}/${CLUSTER_NAME}/addons/authenticator/key.pem;
-   aws s3 cp aws-iam-authenticator.kubeconfig ${KOPS_STATE_STORE}/${CLUSTER_NAME}/addons/authenticator/kubeconfig.yaml;
-   ```
-2. Add the following sections to the cluster spec, either using `kops edit cluster ${CLUSTER_NAME}` or editing the manifest yaml file.
-   Be sure to replace `KOPS_STATE_STORE` and `CLUSTER_NAME` with their appropriate values since those environment variables are not available at runtime.
-   This downloads the files from the state store on masters to a directory that is volume mounted by kube-apiserver.
-   Kops does not support adding additional volumes to kube-apiserver so we must reuse the existing `/srv/kubernetes` hostPath volume.
-   ```
-   apiVersion: kops/v1alpha2
-   kind: Cluster
-   spec:
-     kubeAPIServer:
-       authenticationTokenWebhookConfigFile: /srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator/kubeconfig.yaml
-     hooks:
-     - name: kops-hook-authenticator-config.service
-       before:
-         - kubelet.service
-       roles: [Master]
-       manifest: |
-         [Unit]
-         Description=Download AWS Authenticator configs from S3
-         [Service]
-         Type=oneshot
-         ExecStart=/bin/mkdir -p /srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator
-         ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/aws s3 cp --recursive s3://KOPS_STATE_STORE/CLUSTER_NAME/addons/authenticator /srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator/
-   ```
-   If using a non-default AMI that does not have the AWS CLI, replace the second `ExecStart` statement with:
-
-   ```
-   ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run --net=host --rm -v /srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator:/srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator quay.io/coreos/awscli@sha256:7b893bfb22ac582587798b011024f40871cd7424b9026595fd99c2b69492791d aws s3 cp --recursive s3://KOPS_STATE_STORE/CLUSTER_NAME/addons/authenticator /srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator/
-   ```
-3. Apply the changes with `kops update cluster ${CLUSTER_NAME}`.
-   If the cluster already exists, roll the cluster with `kops rolling-update cluster ${CLUSTER_NAME}` in order to recreate the master nodes.
-4. Update the Authenticator DaemonSet's state and output volumes to both use `/srv/kubernetes/aws-iam-authenticator/` for their `hostPath`s.
-5. Apply the DaemonSet and ConfigMap resource manifests to launch the Authenticator server on the cluster.
-
-*Note:* Certain Kops commands will overwrite the `exec` configuration in kubeconfig so it may need to be restored manually. See [kubernetes/kops#5051](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/issues/5051) for more information.
-
+Clusters managed by [Kops](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops) can be configured to use Authenticator. For usage instructions see the [Kops documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/docs/authentication.md#aws-iam-authenticator).
 
 ## How does it work?
 It works using the AWS [`sts:GetCallerIdentity`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_GetCallerIdentity.html) API endpoint.
