-To use network policies with EKS Auto Mode, you first need to enable the Network
-Policy Controller by applying a ConfigMap to your cluster:
-
-```bash
-tee "${TMP_DIR}/${CLUSTER_FQDN}/k8s-configmap-amazon-vpc-cni.yml" << EOF | kubectl apply -f -

-kind: ConfigMap
-metadata:

+I was not able to make the NetworkPolicy working with `kube-prometheus-stack`
+properly in the EKS Auto Mode. Prometheus is getting the
+`dial tcp 10.100.0.1:443: i/o timeout` error and is not able to get the metric
+data - therefore I will keep the NetworkPolicy turned off.
