Can we use AWS VPC CNI on Kubernetes cluster in AWS when not using EKS

Question

I am planning to set up a Kubernetes cluster in AWS without using EKS. Since EKS provides Amazon VPC CNI for managing networking at pod level, which provides better networking, I am planning to use the same.

I need to know, whether it is possible my Kubernetes cluster with Amazon VPC CNI , if yes, can somebody provide me the document or how to perform it.

I assume you can. Download manifest - https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/blob/master/config/v1.5/aws-k8s-cni.yaml

And run kubectl apply -f aws-k8s-cni.yaml
