 ### Added
 
 - add support for [`amazon-eks-node-*` AMI with bootstrap script](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/improvements-eks-worker-node-provisioning/) (by @erks)
-- expose `kubelet_extra_args` worker group option (replacing `kubelet_node_labels`) to allow specifying arbitrary kubelet options (e.g. taints and labels) (by @erks)
+- expose `kubelet_extra_args` worker group option (replacing `kubelet_node_labels`) to allow specifying arbitrary kubelet options (e.g. taints and labels) (by @erks) 
+- add optional input `worker_additional_security_group_ids` to allow one or more additional security groups to be added to all worker launch configurations - #47 (by @hhobbsh @mr-joshua)
