<a name="sandboxing-ami"></a>

Pods running in Nitro Sandboxes are available on EKS Auto Mode clusters without additional configuration. For self-managed or managed node groups outside of Auto Mode, build a compatible AMI using the Nitro Sandboxes binaries provided by Amazon. See the AMI build guide.
