How does one set up the workers? None of the announcements, documentation or FAQs explain how that's supposed to happen. It's pretty clear that Amazon manages the masters (any of the latest three public versions), but it's not clear what you'd do next: bring your own instances with kubelet and do TLS bootstrapping or similar?

I would guess AMI + userdata to point to the master(s)

So you're going to have to use a subset of possible distros/images. Then you have to figure your node update strategy. These are the kind of details I hoped they would discuss.

We'll provide AMIs with pre-configured images and Kubernetes resources. Customers have complete control over the worker nodes. With Fargate integration, node management will be painfree.

We'll show how the images are built using Packer. You are welcome to bring your own images.

Worker nodes upgrade will be the usual k8s way - drain, update, bring it back.
