+Default values for most variables are defined in [a default variable file](eks-worker-al2-variables.json).

+Users have the following options for specifying their own values:
+
+1. Provide a variable file with the `PACKER_VARIABLE_FILE` argument to `make`. Values in this file will override values in the default variable file. Your variable file does not need to include all possible variables, as it will be merged with the default variable file.
+2. Pass a key-value pair for any template variable to `make`. These values will override any values specified using the first method.

 ### Building against other versions of Kubernetes binaries
 To build an Amazon EKS Worker AMI with other versions of Kubernetes that are not listed above run the following AWS Command
