# Configure EKS Auto Mode settings
<a name="settings-auto"></a>

This chapter describes how to configure specific aspects of your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Auto Mode clusters. While EKS Auto Mode manages most infrastructure components automatically, you can customize certain features to meet your workload requirements.

Using the configuration options described in this topic, you can modify networking settings, compute resources, and load balancing behaviors while maintaining the benefits of automated infrastructure management. Before making any configuration changes, review the available options in the following sections to determine which approach best suits your needs.
