kubectl now configurable by the module

@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
 - files rendered from dedicated templates to separate out raw code and config from `hcl`
 - `workers_ami_id` is now made optional. If not specified, the module will source the latest AWS supported EKS AMI instead.
 - added ability to specify extra userdata code to execute after the second to configure and start kube services.
+- When `configure_kubectl_session` is set to true the current shell will be configured to talk to the kubernetes cluster using config files output from the module.
